Stuck In The Mind

To You

Hey Stranger,

Welcome to my life.

"Here is my mind,

filled with doubtful thoughts,"

I say as I point to my head,

With a weapon-like motion

"Here is my heart,

That beats a mile a minute,

Because of the master mind,

pulling and tugging on it,

in every direction

Leaving it to feel one emotion,

One feeling so great,

It rules my body,

Stress Stress Stress"

I whisper as I pointed towards my chest,

with every finger except the thumb

"Here is my stomach,

That I have been starving for the past week,

or rather eating very little"

I said as I covered my hands over my stomach,

trying to hid it.

"Lastly Here is my friend,"

I said as I motioned around me.

"Oh darkness,

How I once feared you,

as a tike."

"I now have grown,

You are my friend,

my one and only."

"Don't run, Stranger!"

I said as I reached toward you.

"My story is far from over!"

I retracted my hand

"You see,

Darkness and I were once enemies,

That was before,

I knew of,

Depression and exclusion and,

started having thoughts,

"Who will miss me?

I could just walk out the door,

Don't look back!"

"That's it, Almost there,

STOP! What am I doing?"

My so-called human friends,

Well, We don't talk about them,

Darkness and I

We hug, 

when no one else would,

They think I hate being touched,

It's not that,

I want to shout.

He opened his arms for me,

as far as I could see,

I was almost choked,

before he released. "

"Oh Darkness, How I love thee!"
