Be careful of your words

I'm tired of being left alone in the dark. I don't like being alone with my thoughts.

The darkness surrounding my body sinks in to my soul. Like ink spreading across a paper.

It drips through the cracks of my scars. Battle wounds that were left behind from the wars. The wars between my heart and mind.

My mind rages with anger and my heart aces with sorrow. My fragile heart seems to loose every time.

The darkness knows my mind is easily persuaded. And it takes advantage of that. It convinces my heart that it's song of life, made by the drumming of its beats, are pointless.

It strikes my heart like lightning. Then a thunderstorm comes and it begins to pour.

Each boom of thunder reminds me of the precious life that I'm wasting. The rain drowns me in sadness.

I'm trapped in my mind, there's nowhere for the water to go. So my surroundings begin to flood. The rain pours harder, I can't breath! The darkness reaches out its hand and pulls me under the water.

Then....

The rain stops.

I see the sun shining with a yellow glow. I hear sounds of laughter and joy. I see children run and play. Everyone is happy.

I want so desperately to be apart of the fun activities. So I struggle against the hand that pulls me further, In to the depths of the water.

I struggle and cry, I even try to scream for help. But the water fills my lungs, keeping me silent.

No one can hear my silent screams and pleas. No one can see my tears of sadness. The darkness pulls me down further. Only to be lead to a cavern of dark, hopeless, and empty thoughts.

All because of that damn group of kids. That thought it was okay to push me to the ground. And call me names and tell me I was worthless.
