If this is the end
Where do I begin
I've suffered in silence
Fighting the tortured screams
Echoing from within
My head explodes
A rainbow of emotions
rains on my heart
Carving acid trenches
I'm drowning in this corrosive ocean
I'm told to wait
Wait for the moment to pass
Wait for the day when this moment has passed
Wait for the time when I can learn to sing again
Wait for the day I can be happy again
But waiting is monotonous
I want to take a leap of faith
Hang my pain up in the air
Watch my my final sunset
And take the plunge
Because I don't care
The days before are all but forgotten
And I've wasted enough time
I'm tired of convincing everyone
I promise you, I'm fine
Those shrieks of pain
They are my own
No where is safe from panic
Not even my home
Not even my bed
That stood loyally beneath me
It now houses darker creatures
That only want to **** me.
Not even my teddy bear
Possessed. Has a mind that can think
That absent smile
Those glassy eyes
I swear I've seen them blink
Imagine that someone
With cosmic scissors. They can cut
Every link to existence
With a single thought
They can nail your coffin shut.
Imagine that everyone's gone
You wade around like a ghost
You're lucid in your nightmare
I know what hurts you the most
I know how to ignite a flame
That will burn your brain forever
I know how to start a storm
That will rage in you body forever
I know how to wage a war
That will never end
I know how to send you
over the edge
I am that that flame
I am that storm
I am that war
I am your pain
I am you
This poem is very personal. It is a summary of my struggles since September 2013. Thankfully I am mostly better but I thought a poem would be a good way to deal with the echoes of that.. really dark time in my life
