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.
