The poems featured on this page are of a dark nature ~ they are poems about the black side of life: suicide, fear and depression. Like abuse, it is a topic most people would prefer to leave alone. But it is there ~ it exists behind every sorrow that you can't get over, next to every loss you cannot bear and accompanied by every painful emotion we don't want to feel. The black emotions inside us all. Let's shed some light on them.... This page is dedicated to the dark side which is in all of us. Let it surface, express it, learn from it.
