I have contained depths of darkness
that would terrify the uninitiated
I dare not even plumb the inky depths of my own soul
for fear of breaking my own mind
I am not suicidal
but I have contemplated death in its complexity
and embraced its inevitability
My heart has opened up and bled too many times
My darkness is festering just beneath the surface
barely contained and building
Someday it will overtake me
and I am terrified of the fallout when that happens
I shudder to think of who will go down with me
when I finally implode
