the blackness

I've tried so hard. 

I've come so far.

Crossing the equator

changing continents

hopping across ponds

searching, running

running

always running...

always searching... 

but it's never enough, 

is it?

the blackness still finds it's way

the thought

of bubbles twirling

of endless sea green

and ocean blue

still so inviting.

My veins bleed red

my veins bleed blue

and greens and purples

My veins bleed words

and hurts

and hopes

My eyes light up

at the sounds of

saving you

and you 

and you.

My eyes light up

it pushes the sadness away.

But the blackness,

it still seeps in.

still finds its way.

drowning

drowning

drowning me.

what I do

whatever I do... 

it's never quite enough.

we can travel continents to get away from ourselves and the darkness, but what is inside just follows us everywhere...we have to find the light inside ourselves, and then we will feel content no matter where we rest our head.

[Elie Marie]

very true. I completely agree.

I think this is open to a lot of different interpretations... it can be about trying to stop thinking about someone you care about that is gone... it can be about a breakup... it can be about depression and how it follows you EVERYWHERE you go... Anyways, I liked it. :)
