    I am in need of help, (not that kind of help) as I have not been able to decide upon a title for this poem. I’ve just finished it, and although usually, a title that seems fitting comes to the fore, and to myself I say, “okay that’s it then”. However, not this one. I have come up with a few but I’m still not sure which, if any, is the right one. That is where YOU, my loyal followers or the passer-by that happens to “stop in” today, come into the equation. Help me find a title. At the bottom of the post, I have listed a few of the titles that I have come up with for your consideration/ judgement. Or…You may offer your own suggestions,(be kind please) and I will decide from that which one to use.
Ps. As you will find out this is not a light and happy poem, in fact, it is very deep and perhaps even disturbing..
    Thank you in advance, for your participation.
    Have a fearless Friday,
Jake.
As Yet Untitled
Without reason,
nor cause,
save, for a feeling,
of sadness,
it creeps as a vine,
from a source unknown,
welling, up from the depths,
comes madness.
Whilst outward appearance,
remains as before,
inward descends,
into darkness,
until, in to the light,
burst forth, out from hiding,
with, alarm then for all,
at its sharpness.

Thanks again,

It relates the indescribable depths of depression for those of us who so suffer. But you have described it artfully so. But I would suggest that it is not light that erupts but enveloping darkness. At a loss for a title but it will be understood in a special way for a particular part of the population that struggle.
I truly appreciate your comments Carl.(as always) Your insight into the situation is special and I thank you.. What the light represented(in my mind) was the realization of others, after the affected person exposed to the world, that which was hiding inside..When, for example, a tragedy occurs and some people say, “I never would have guessed he/she would do something like that!” Or.. “I knew there was something weird about him/her!” Maybe I need some help! Have a peace-filled day my friend.

Well thought out Sal, I wasn’t even considering the “evil element” as much as the insanity vein. Thank you. How are you? Okay?

Good for you, I think.. We’ll keep a light on for you.. lol

I rather like “From Out of the Darkness”, as in this is being told from one within such darkness.
Thank you so much for your input, the torment that must come with it is beyond my imagination. Please continue to voice your opinions as they are most welcomed.
