Poems For the Damaged and Broken

Darkness Inside Me

Sitting by the fire,
Tears in my eyes.
Their screams are deafening.
All other sounds just dies.

My hopes have died,
Along with the little innocence i had.
All I want to do is stand in the fire.
I bet the searing pain would make me glad.

But I can't seem to get on my feet.
The voices and screams are too overwhelming.
They're screaming for me to hurt myself,
With constant reminders of all the things i'm failing.

They want me to hurt.
They want me in pain.
I cant help but wanna succumb to them,
To make my blood fall like the rain.

But I can't.
At least not yet.
Too many people need me,
So this fake smile has to set.

I can't let them see,
The darkness inside me...
