Darkness is a blanket wrapping me up.
Engulfing me.
Smothering me.
The darkness creeps up.
I watch it.
Inevitable.
Unstoppable.
I fall into its frozen calmness.
That eerie cold stillness seeping deep into my soul.
Replacing happiness with scorn.
Positive with negative
Love with hate.
Locking the positives into a box.
Like Pandora.
I struggle,
Writhe,
And strike out.
The darkness is drowning me, in the dark shadow of a vast lake.
I can’t stop it.
I am exhausted.
Can’t fight any longer.
Let it take me.
I wake, alive and fresh.
The world carries on.
The light has saved me.
Let out hope.
Love.
The sun welcomes me back.
Glad I am still here.
I embrace it.
It was all only a dream.
Only a nightmare. |
