My Darkness
Completely numb I live day by day.
Darkness pollutes the world around me.
It sinks in… into my skin, my heart, my soul.
Here, in a hole of darkness I don’t know where to turn,
Which way I should go, how do I get out?
Everywhere I look there is black.
I feel as if I am in a dark room with no way out.
There is nowhere for me to go.
Where can I find my peace, my happiness?
Is there any for me to find, some I can call my own?
Or is it all being used by others?
Stuck between the real world and my world seclusion I am lost.
I want to get help.
I don’t want to be alone but what am I to do?
No one seems to understand.
In a live of joy and happiness I just find the sadness, I feel so lost.
I don’t know how I have gotten here.
Why does my past control my present?
I need to fix it but I don’t know how.
