Night-TimeA Poem by ChidoriflowerSahdWhen you’re alone in the dark The thoughts rush in like spies So many all at once, teaming in the silence It builds up in the chest cavity, in the stomach Until it spills out in the form of physical pain It’s the same thoughts, the same feelings you’ve felt before Why do they still pound so desperately against the head “Why am I not good enough?” “Why do I want to die all the time?” “Why can’t I breathe?” The thoughts, how I hate them, how I hate the way they whisper But there is always good, good things in the world that can one day quiet them © 2016 ChidoriflowerAuthor's Note
