What You Don’t Know


There’s something that’s not right about me
I try to not allow it to be seen
I’ve got it tucked away someplace deep
No, it isn’t conjured up or some kind of fantasy
It’s a mystery
My reality

Depression is no joke
Hanging from a dangling rope
Seems like I might as well
Living in a living hell
Beyond compare
The cave I dwell
My own nightmare
Trapped inside
Passion deprived
And I don’t care
I don’t care

Fed up with myself
Wish I was someone else
Disgusted, without a doubt
Yes, that’s what I’m about

Got no love to call my own
Spent my whole life alone
In solitude
Yes, I’m that dude
It’s for the best
I’m one big mess
And I’m simply not in the mood

Wish I knew which way to turn
Wish I remembered just one lesson that I learned
But maybe I did figure out some things
Like, it’s not always quite as bad as it seems
And sometimes nightmares can turn back into your dreams
Minus the screams
Minus the screams
*Writing frees my demons. I share my writing with hopes of letting people know they’re not alone. I write dark, but my writing is just one tool I use to help me put mind and myself at ease. I find painting to be a great outlet as well.
