I thought you were gone
I thought you had finally left me
But now I see you,
Lurking, waiting, creeping in the shadows
You’re fantasizing, dreaming,
Of taking control of me again
I see your darkness
It’s seeping in through the edges of my mind
Your anticipation is unbearable
You’re looking forward to suffocating me again
To taking my hope away, and replace it with darkness
You engulf me in the blackness of despair
You choke me with morbid thoughts
Happiness doesn’t exist anymore
I only see a bleak future ahead
I hope someone notices
I hope they notice how sad I look
But no one ever does
They don’t see that my smile is fake
That my laugh is just a sick pretense
They don’t see the pain in my eyes
Now I know
You have made me your prisoner
Once again
If you didn't figure it out, this poem is about depression. I wanted to write it without directly saying what it was about.
