My dark Passenger

Rambling and mumbling in my head, the things my lips fail to speak
Keep it to myself, don't burden others, I am not manufactured to be weak
Some days it's easier to pretend
I chose no one to vent to, so I pick up this pen
Sadness turns into rage, as I feel flushed with fever
My face is happy and warm, my heart is so cold I can't help but shiver
Sure, things could be worse, God knows they have been
Or does he know? So, he can fix me then?
Most of you are devoted Christians
Good for you. May he wash away all your sins
As for me, I fight my battles alone, perhaps I am weak
I've searched for God, happiness is all I seek
Blind to the signs
These ill emotions sometimes realigne
It's just a pitty party for me,
I am not like this in person you see
I am sweet I am giving
I have a dark passenger that inside me, he is living
No one knows him, except whoever reads this
My family, friends, to this side of me are completely oblivious
Thanks for listening, person unknown
This is a side of me I have never shown
My dark passenger, with no name
You can't see or hear him, I've learned that he must be tamed

loving that 'dark passenger' Amber, this write pops, and to be honest you haven't said anything that is obviously offensive, the reader is a bible believer himself, and to have someone on a poetry site say
'I've searched for God, happiness is all I seek
'As for me, I fight my battles alone, perhaps I am weak'
is neither here nor there, it is a really good line by the way....a religious destination should be based on a personal journey, in my opinion... what I find fascinating about the 'dark passenger' concept here is how well you articulated it in this poem, so mysterious cool and a bit edgy, you come across... would enjoy having you stretch out the persona a little more, perhaps 'dark passenger 2'... it really is a great theme to explore, I promise not to steal the idea, but I do like it a lot, just saying.... great subject matter, superb write, reads like a million bucks....cheers pal
Hey Christopher, as I was writing this, I noticed how similar it was to some of my earlier work, The porcelain angel trilogy I wrote. I think you would enjoy it. Anyhow, thanks for reading and I am stoked that you liked it.
Hi Amber Great write I think many could relate
when you say about feeling sadness that turns to rage.
so we put a facade up and suppress how we really feel
to the outside world
but hiding inside is the "Dark passenger" of unhappiness.
A great read best wishes Debs

James
much appreciated James
Awesome write amber!
Thank you poetress
emotional !!!! well done
Thanks
What you have written here I relate to whole heartedly 100%. Your title was perfect for this, and here...on this site...is where you belong with feelings like this, your not alone. I have written many on this subject but you conveyed much more beautifully, with subconscious talk and outward honesty. Amber keep it up, you have progressed so much since your first posts on cosmo and I admire your writes. Peace.
Gee thanks! and I will!

Thanks Sparrow
Heartfully penned words.
Your Poem touched me deeply.. Your Dark Passenger is the ego split mind
which occludes our vision of the absolute or the creator or God,which ever..
it is very difficult to over come but through powerful exploratory poems like this you will find the
path..It takes a lifetime..It has a great rhytm as well
congratulations!!!
I hear you, Amber and commend your acknowledgment of needing to take your darkness. Nothing exists outside of its nature. The fact that all people are capable of great evil is a testament to the wickedness dormant inside us.
You are more than welcome to message me. I am no stranger to darkness. There is nothing you could share with me that would divide my love for you.
Be well, friend.
A huge thank younto all of you. Your kind words, support and feedback give me such great pleasure to be a part of Cosmo. And mostly thank you Cosmo for giving strangers the chance to interact with each other and enjoy fine art and poetry
Hi Amber Congratulations!! A well deserved
winner for a great poem
Best Wishes Debs
