The deepest pit of darkness
it dwells inside me
An empty void
draining away all I have to offer
Or so I tell myself
What lives inside this desolate being
screaming to get out
What flower grows
but remains trapped in its small ***
doomed to be strangled by its own roots
It all wants to crawl out
To see the light of day
It doesn't want to die
screaming in the dark
I can't hear my own voice
I'm drowning in my own emotion
Choking on my own thoughts
I'm slowly destroying myself
working from the inside out
It all seems so hopeless sometimes
So incredibly ****** up I can't even begin to see the end
I feel all mangled inside
Like my soul has been shredded
and is barely just pulling itself together
Why does it take so long to heal
To get over these emotional scars
I wish it would just go away
Why can't things just stay buried
hidden within the darkest recesses of our souls
slumbering memories repressed into a state of psuedo forgetfulness
If this could be done....
.....I wouldn't drown
