Description An hour has passed, the floors are now barren.
The crowds have dispersed, alone I now stand.
I fear i'll succumb for how can I withstand.
My fists are balled tight and the nights in my hands.

In just eight more hours the sun will impose,
his harsh sting will prick me like thorns of a rose.
I know i'll have earned it, of that I suppose,
a gift that keeps giving, a light for my woes.

Monotonous insets insist on inception,
of mundane routine within mundane routines.
How one can stay sane, is a mystery to me;
"Awake through the night", seems a little obscene!

Though solace I seek as I search here in depth,
I know that I'll settle, for second at best.
My standards will plummet, with that i'll confess:
"The darkness has left me, alone and inept".

Not a bad poem. Your rhyming scheme is well placed and has a very distinct pattern & rhythm to it. The tale of facing judgement is a frightening thing as it is described here in your poem. Deep, dreary, but most of all, scary, IMHO. All in all, what a wonderful poem. Great job!

 Thank you Redhawk, reading your feedback really warmed my heart and put a huge grin on my face! 
I'm trying to find my feet with my writing and so I'll be toying with different patterns & rhythms but I must admit I really did enjoy writing this piece, the structure was super fun to write with! >.< 
Thanks again!

No problem! I understand how you feel. I'm also trying out various types of writing. And you've earned a watch from me too. Keep on writing and don't give up

Baron a member of the lowest order of the British nobility. The term “Baron” is not used as a form of address in Britain, barons usually being referred to as “Lord.”
Barren 

(of a place or building) bleak and lifeless.

"the sports hall turned out to be a rather barren concrete building"

I like your poem it's really good.  Nice descrptions.
