Fighting off the Darkness
I have a lot of darkness in me
but I have goodness too
and I try to fight off
how much dark trickles through
When I feel the darkness
try to rear its ugly head
I submerge myself in water
to wash away all the dread
I can hear my heartbeat in the water
and it lets me know I am still alive
I try and block myself off
to what is slowly trying to thrive
I close my eyes to the darkened images
and close my mind off as well
I dare not speak of any horror
and retreat into my protective shell
I emerge from the water
when I start to feel repaired
then I shift my focus to other people
my thoughts are needed elsewhere

This is a write of mine from March of 2016 and still hold true to this day.
I always try and keep the focus off me and think of others.
