( A/N : This is the first poem I've ever written about my depression. I'm still pretty proud of it ^.^ )
Through the darkness light appears
It's warmth ever so gently caresses my fears
Words are whispered through the veil
A promise that the darkness will not prevail
"An Eden awaits you."
When I try to leave the darkness follows me
Placing a ball and chain upon my ankle
Giving a reminder of who I belong to
I fear the light had lied
Where's this Eden it promised to provide?
"There's no place to hide..."
It chants to me when I'm alone
Words that would be able to break bones
One of Death
One of Hurt
One of Blood
One of Girth
"You can never leave me."
The light is just beyond my reach
"Why can't you help me?"
A dark black hand grasps my waist
His claws rip into my skin
Hot red blood drips down my sides
Deep dark laughter fills the skies
"I am the Night
I am your Fear
I am the Suicidal Thoughts that appear
When you're Alone
And no one is home
I will Creep inside
Because I know where you Hide
I promise you this
You cannot be Saved"
(ja.rs)
