Midnight (Waka Form)

Posted by Jeremy Sagawa on

The sun goes back home

Back to its raging domain

Shadowy mind state

Light does not reach this dark space

This space that I call my own

    Jeremy- I had to read your poem twice to capture your message and may I just say- your imagery of midnight makes it sound like the most beautiful thing in the world. I feel like I can join you in that dark space and embrace the darkness the way you captured it in this poem. Amazing <3

    This poem is unique, I see it as a conversation on mental illness, and how a lot of people who suffer from it put up a façade and they feel as if they have to dwell in this kind of darkness whenever they’re alone. It’s also interesting, how in this poem you didn’t use the sun in the moon as a text position, but the sun,And midnight instead.
