The Darkness Within
I'm in the middle of the ocean,
isolated and utterly alone,
drowning and choking on the harsh waters
while everyone else is miles away on the shore.
I call out for help,
but my please are muffled from the brackish water
They tell me to swim, hold myself up
For God's sake, at least try and save yourself from sinking.
But they don't understand,
It is so hard for them to comprehend me.
It is hard for me understand myself.
There is a darkness inside of me,
that I cannot describe;
a monster that steals
my joy,
my love,
and the memories that I cherish.
Destorting my dreams into nightmares,
and my nightmares into reality.
It robs me of everything I possess,
and leaves in its wake
destruction, emptiness, and darkness.
