Poison

2 1 1

Sadness descends, slowly drowning me in darkness.

This poison courses through my veins, causing nothing but pain and loneliness in its wake.

Friends leave.

I'm alone.

Upset.

Always exhausted, unable to sleep.

A neverending process of destruction.

For sleep is heaven, temporary relief.

No stress, no problems.

Morning arises, a personal hell.

Reality hit abruptly, a mental tsunami.

A destructive force of nature.

Waves of emotion roll over me, drowning me into the depths of darkness.

I sink

down

and I wait for someone to pull me out.

Fairy tales lie, as my knight in shining armor never arrives.

So here I stay, awaiting the day I can pull myself out.

For the poison lies within, depression so deep and hard to rid.

I may not be happy yet, but I'm a work in progress.
