I'm slipping away again Deep into the unknown Into this dark void of nothingness Where my true colors are shown
In this valley of dark shadows Dark monsters reign from the past Stuck within a world of my own demons I don't know how long I'll be able to last.
I thought I finally had a home Somewhere I belonged and cared But I guess that was an illusion too Along with the life I thought we shared
And I'm just wandering these empty alleys Hiding from the monsters inside They'll hunt me down and tear me apart Till I have nothing left but pride
Pride that I didn't give in Somehow I survived another day I managed to watch another sunset Wishing my problems would just go away
When you think everyday is your last That these demons will finally **** you Then what's left to live for in this world? Besides the broken pieces of what we once knew...
But I can't show you what hides behind my mirage of this rainbow of hopeful colors. The color red bleeds on my skin While black and grey everything covers
Because I breathe in nothing but ashes And the shadows of what once used to be I'm stuck between a valley of empty promises Behind this illusion I put out for you to see
In truth, I'm just a broken girl Simply too weak to survive Yet there's nothing more I can possibly do Then put on a plastic smile and hide.
Because though I seem to be just fine My true colors are bleeding through They pop up on my skin, Colors red, black and blue. And when I'm running from my demons My only thought is of you Seeing another day would've been easier If only you just knew.
This one's long but I started writing it in class today and couldn't stop. Just emotions from everything going on this past week just flowed out into so many strings of random thoughts/poetry. This poem was one of the many I wrote today (the least depressing one) and I guess I just need some bit of hope to hold on to for a while. The 'you' in this story isn't one but multiple people, which goes to remind you all you need is just one person to come up and tell you everything is going to be alright. I'm just so tired of that one person always having to be myself
