I am trying to stay calm But how can I rationalize the irrational For the first time in my life I am utterly alone                    Darkness forces its way into the world                    the music stops the birds fall from the sky in masses of miniature bombs There is no one left       no one to laugh with or cry with no one to hold close I dare not close my eyes for if I do I fear they will never open again        and I too will be lost to the world Try as I  might, I can feel the end I can see the final days clear as crystal it will start with the eyes Darkness Then too my body- legs, and arms- useless   but the mind will hold on, in agony searching for something and as the blood begins to fill your mouth, slowly clogging You wonder why Why am I alone Why have I to suffer this on my own You shudder, gasp, ***** for the air in one final show of sanity and fall over Staining the white marble, with your crimson blood         And once again you are alone alone forever So right now i am trying to stay calm

The End of the World
I am trying to stay calm But how can I rationalize the irrational For the first time in my life I am utterly alone                    Darkness forces its way into the world                    the music stops the birds fall from the sky in masses of miniature bombs There is no one left       no one to laugh with or cry with no one to hold close I dare not close my eyes for if I do I fear they will never open again        and I too will be lost to the world Try as I  might, I can feel the end I can see the final days clear as crystal it will start with the eyes Darkness Then too my body- legs, and arms- useless   but the mind will hold on, in agony searching for something and as the blood begins to fill your mouth, slowly clogging You wonder why Why am I alone Why have I to suffer this on my own You shudder, gasp, ***** for the air in one final show of sanity and fall over Staining the white marble, with your crimson blood         And once again you are alone alone forever So right now i am trying to stay calm
This is really about trying to find your place in the world, and wanting to be loved only to find death, and ruin around every corner. I wrote this in response to one of my best friends long battle with depression,and a family that didn't love her.
