Which path do I choose?
Jodey Ross Sep 2014
Walking alone I come
to a fork in the road.
Which path do I choose?

The left road is a dangerous                                                    
path. My demons call to me.                                                
Beg me to play.                                                                          

                                                      The right road is full
                                               of light. Life.  My family
                                              wants me to come home.

They fight over me. I
don't know what to
do. I love my family.
I want to choose them,
but I can't... I choose
the left path.

I
             spiral
                      down.
                         What
                            have          
              I
        become?
I'm
a.    
monster...          
At.      
    least
       I
              won't
    have
to  
worry    
for

Darkness
Jodey Ross Sep 2014
Standing alone,
all I see is Darkness.
Surrounding me.
Holding me in his grasp.
Not allowing any light of hope.
No escape.
I tried running,
climbing,
nothing works.
No matter where you go
the Darkness follows...
You may try to dream him away,
cut him away,
burn him away.
Know that no matter what you do
the Darkness follows.

Tonight
Jodey Ross Jun 2020
As I lay here, the two of you beside me, I feel at peace. And though I can't sleep with all of the thoughts running through my brain, I feel as if I don't even need to. You both give me the strength to keep going. I know that fights happen. I know that things get tough, and money gets tight, and days get tiresome, but I also know that I will always have a place to call home. A place where I can finally rest my eyes and collapse mindlessly into a warm embrace that will mend all of the wounds I may have had. I have never felt such love for anyone until I met you, Adam. I never thought I could feel safe to let my heart run to someone again until you beckoned it your way. And I know this all sounds stupid and maybe it's because I'm sleep deprived, but I want you to know that you mean the world to me. I love you with my whole being and I truly hope you can see that.

The voices say...
Jodey Ross Sep 2014
The voices call to me...
They want me to follow them.
I know I shouldn't but I feel as if I should.
It is my destiny.
They tell me I will be safe if I follow.
They say they can take me away from the                  hurt,
                                      ­                                               pain,
                                                           ­                          sorrow,
                                                         ­                            tears.
No more crying myself to sleep.
No more wondering how I will make it through the day.
No more wondering if anyone cares about me.
No more wondering if I should just permanently leave...

They say they will save me from everything, but to where?

Where will they take me?
Where will I go?
Will I be missed?
Will anyone really care?

— The End —
