many of you may not see
the darkness that is inside of me.
it creeps and crawls and breaks me down
just at night when there is no sound.
this monster that is inside of me
is truly a hard one to see.

as it weeps and cries inside my mind
it takes over me and i slowly un-twine.
this monster is deep and far beneath
it almost kills me as i try to sleep.
as time goes on i try to smile
but darkness is black and it takes a while
to be happy and to not be afraid,
but in my mind i see the shade
of this darkness that fufills my head
i lay silently inside my bed.

no words
no sounds
no smiles
nor frowns.

just the darkness that is nothing;
yet something.

inside of me

that wont let go

i try to leave

but it always says no.
