Depth of a Darkened Soul

Depth of a Darkened Soul

Miniaci Performing Arts Center

This poetic piece describes the feelings and actions associated with one of the most challenging emotions in any human beings’ life - loneliness. This selection goes into great detail about the epicenter of the author’s loneliness and how it takes the joy out of commitments that are otherwise maintained to occupy time not spent wallowing in their own self despair. It also explains how this feeling of loneliness takes over your overall demeanor, distorting your eyes, your voice, your mind and your very soul. Like the selection reads, “Loneliness is a reality that grows and increases with age.” In fact, loneliness is like a scar, it may heal over time, but its still there, forever etched in that designated area. So if you have ever been abandoned, lost or just sealed off from the outside world, this work of art is surely something you will be able to relate to.
