Darkness.
Suffocating, absolute darkness.
Debilitating, enervating darkness.
It saps my strength
Breaks my will
Draws out in length
Memories, pain, until
I cry, I twitch, I moan
How can I do this alone?
Around me, the world is bright
No one, no one can see my fight!
Confusion, disbelief, anger, slight
As though my mind is not quite right!
Family, friends, school all cool
I'm just another sentimental fool
Would you care to look
Beneath the facade
Every step I took
Every action flawed.
Why can't I speak out?
Does anybody care?
Why is life so difficult,
No one has time to spare!
My pain, my angst, is it even real
Is it all just in my mind, ephemeral?
But suddenly, I hear voices
Cheerful, happy noises
Sounds that seem forgotten but near
Faces never seen, but dear!
Come on, they urge
Tell us your story
We're here to listen
No matter how gory
Talk to us, we care
Be with us, we'll share!
Be it pain or profit
Your company's worth it!
You can't not like us, we dare!!
Comfort from shores afar
Every friend, a shining star
The night is dark, breath indrawn
Hope aflame, I wait for the dawn!
