The sky darkens in
its hazy way,
my gloomy heart
just meets the pace;
the rain plummets
to the yielding earth,
full of corruption,
and it just gets worse;
I cannot stand,
I'll fall down,
past bare cement,
below the ground;
sadness is filler,
in the crevasse of the heart,
but it does not fix,
just tears apart.
I don't know how
I can heal this gap,
every new road
is just a trap;
the inconsistency
of mind and heart
has overwhelmed,
from the start;
but there's a way
around this mess,
yet it won't just happen,
it starts with us.

Great rhyme scheme and flow, it's wonderful how many images your poem conjures up. All the lines fit so harmoniously into one another, and have an original feel.

Great last line, you're on a good start! Check your rhythm and stresses in a few lines, but other than that it was good.:P
