The Darkness

The Darkness - A free verse poem.

The darkness seeps in.

No matter what I am doing.

The darkness will always come back.

The darkness will always follow me.

I feel like I'm in an ocean.

A black, inky ocean.

Blackness.

I try to swim up.

I can't breathe!

I push myself harder.

I can't breathe!

Whenever I am close to the surface, another thick black wave crashes down on me.

I. Can't. Breathe.

I'm succumbing to the darkness.

It's inky arms hold me, in a sick, twisted embrace.

I don't want to feel it.

But the darkness fills me.

Memories flood my brain.

So many memories..

So much darkness..

I laugh in the face of fear.

Because my biggest fear is myself.

There is nothing more terrifying than what your own brain can conjure up.

Fear I face everyday.

I am screaming for help.

Locked in a cage within myself.

My demons rule me.

They force me to smile. They send away the help.

I'm broken.

I'm shattered.

I'm engulfed in the darkness.

I'm not okay.
