Out There

Dark Thoughts

Here they come again,
creeping up in the middle of the night.
"Hey, haven't thought of dying in awhile,
let's fix that."

They strike in moments of pure bliss,
while you're spinning 'round in glee.
"You're such an idiot,
don't fall and let them see how heavy you are."

You can try to run and escape them,
but the black fire engulfs your body.
"Slow down child,
you need breath so we can torture you."

They turn you away from the world,
never letting you be with 'friends.'
"Just say you're good and fine,
no one will know the difference."

They let you solve a math problem,
yet you can't solve your own.
"This is what you need for the real world,
you're so far gone from it."

Here comes the storm again,
taking over me.
"Hush darling,
nobody ever cared."
