Dark Nights but Bright DaysA Poem by Silly_Clumsy_AmberLet me know your thoughts to this poem, honest thoughts even if it's criticism.
In my darkest seconds, there are nights
Where I promise myself I won't get out of bed Because I just want to end all the fights And die before the monsters fully take over my head. And on those nights, I never feel my breath- In fact, I feel nothing at all when I'm lying in the darkness Because it's like my body is preparing for death Since that's less scary than becoming heartless. You see, I've lost myself on these toxic nights Not all at once but slowly and piece by piece And at times that really bites Because it builds up until I need to release. But the release is never as easy as it should be Since the build up pushes me down by its weight Harder and harder until I want to flee And let life take me to my fate. However there are still days that I really do smile Even when there are nights that I frown And that makes me feel like I can go the extra mile Though I'm aware that I still will drown. And it's those days I keep in mind For the morning after a tough night Because maybe- just maybe I'll be fine And continue to keep up my fight. That's why I get out of bed That's why I continue to try That's why I won't let the monsters control my head And that's why I don't let myself cry. The bright days overcome the dark nights And the smile overcomes the frown So I'll continue to battle with my frights Because there's only one way up when I am down © 2014 Silly_Clumsy_Amber |
