When I am alone, the voices won't leave
When I am with you, I can feel the silence . . .

I only write poems in my dark days
days where it feels like the world has ended
days where it feels like the sun is dull
days where I get lonely in crowded places

Lately, I haven't written as much as I used to
Not because there haven't been dark days
Not because I don't overthink everything in my life
Not because I don't feel alone some days

I don't write as much as I used to
Because lately, I found you
when I'm with you, the voices are quiet
when I'm with you, life doesn't seem so sad
When I'm with you I don't need to write.
When I'm with you, I am Happy.

You were my best friend.
When no one else was there.
You always listened to all my problems.
You never left me sad.
You always trusted me, even on my bad days.
You spent your life revolving around me.
I miss you so much.
You were truly Man's best friend.
I'm sorry I wasn't there at the end.
I pray you rest in peace.

The places where the demons hide
The voices that always tell me lies.
The deepest corners of my mind
The darkest moments of my life

All stuffed
Into one
Little room

I don't Drink.
Not because I don't want to.
I don't Drink.
Not because I don't need to.

I don't drink because of you.
because of what you did
because I swore that I would never be like you
because you were the monster I feared

I don't drink, because I fear.
I fear the monster in you, will become the monster in me.
That monster is something I never want to be.

There’s a darkness inside all of us
It starts out pretty small
But in everything we do, we feed it
Let it grow big and tall

This darkness is our truest self
The face we try to hide
A monster deep inside us
That simply just won’t die
