Chapter 7: darkness

Darkness (A book full of poems)Words: 655

This darkness fills my mind

Needles in my head

Bed full of nails not sure where

To go or who i am anymore

I don’t want to do this anymore,

Going blind to my own emotions

The numbness fills me up.

Intertwined with the people on the inside

Of my mind can’t escape these thoughts that

Taunt me in my sleep. The light that

Once shined  starts to fade away.

Feeling caught in  my own trap I can’t

Cut myself away from. Afraid that if I

Step away I will lose the safety of the shade.

Being made to feel happy when I’m really

Not, but I fake it anyway.

For the sake of saying “i’m fine” hoping

They will believe me, but no one can read the signs.
