My Book of Poems

Dark and Empty Mentality

When darkness rules,
And emptiness abides.
In my mind, in my heart,
The two coincide.

They are forced upon.
Reckoned with.
Battled against.
Darkness, and emptiness.

One forces me forward.
The other pulls me back.
But both plan
To keep me in their crack.

Held down and suffocated.
Further pushed and deeper down.
Pulling me under,
Six feet underground.

Closed in, blocked off,
Down, down i go.
Weight on me, on my shoulders,
Breathing, breathing slow.

Heart racing and mind pacing,
My voices start to yell.
One fuels the empty, one fuels the dark.
It's my painful story to tell.

The dark feels so empty.
So lost.
It wants me to keep going,
But also wants me to stop.

To stop the madness.
To fuel the psycho.
My dark and empty mentality,
Drives me to go...

Insane...
