Darkness.

The quiet noise of the cars rolling by.

In a world full of people but-

alone.

Under three or four blankets but-

cold.

Sleep supposedly turns off your mind but-

mine's racing.

That's when the dreams hit.

Fragments of my past, my memories, sometimes even future.

Float around my head.

Mixing- with the memories.

Shouting the things I want to forget.

Tears roll down my face, unconscious, but somehow still- awake.

I take all the hits that seem to just keep coming.

I'm aware to my brokenness, I don't these reminders to keep me awake.

The room is silent, no sound, nothing.

But my head keeps spinning.

My thoughts keep winning.

Will I ever get out?

Will I ever get out?

This is when life and death seem no different.

My mind turns into hell.

Did I ask for this?

I try to think over the cocophony of my insecurities.

This is when I think about how empty I feel.

The deep black void in my soul expands.

My heart shatters more than it already has.

I'm lost in a sea of thoughts.

I carelessly let my mind wander.

I have no strength left to restrain myself.

I think of things that might make me happy.

I think of things that might fill me with light.

But they don't, they leave me more empty than before.

I end up wanting things I can't have more and more.

I wake up my mind numb and sore.

I have to face the day alone, a war.

The sun is out, it's warm and bright yet-

I am cold and dull.

My mind can't open my eyes to see the world.

I walk through the day.

Oblivious to the choices I make.

My demons have my soul.

I fear I'm lost.

To my mind.

To my dreams.
