Darkness seems to be coming fast
Strengthening with each breath
I feel its presence ready to take the
Air from my lungs
I reach with shaky palms
Towards the last shafts of light
Only to watch it fade
Into the gloom
A cold howl pierces the senses
A raw unnerving sound
Like that of some ancient forgotten beast
My legs try to move
Stuck
Frozen
Time has taken its toll
Leaving a shell of
Raw nerves
Leaving a husk
Of some being
I don't not know
The way out of this gloom
I don't not know if I'll survive
I can only hear the screams of my thoughts
Clawing to get out
I can only feel pain
No love
No light
Nothing seems to get better
Despair has taken hold
I will never be free from its grip.
Darkness keeps coming
My current state of mind? You be the judge.

Darkness s not the culprit, but the ones who control it

The darkness weighs me down like a suit of lead
Those who never felt wonder why i feel such dread
I move one step at a time through this piercing darkness
Knowing full well that i may not survive this madness
I feel sharp pains in my soul
Like stabbing knives that are far from dull
I cry and weep as i fall to sleep
Wondering what i deserved t feel such pains
