Panic

Sometimes the anguish takes over me

Darkness takes over my soul

All the demons show up to snare and see

To gather precious things and make a mockery

As I sail trough the dark river of Styx

Some friends I do hope to meet 

Madness arrives, truth and lies

Insanity sets in, the show will begin

And my crazy mind starts to shine and shine 

Pain fills my soul, like blistering cold

And I still, don't feel so old

There are many stories untold

What Man does for sex and gold

Sometimes, panic strikes

Why, so many fighs? 

Why, the dying of the lights? 

Why, all the martyrs and so many plights? 

Why the tears in so many sights?

Desperation, torment, lament

Tears flow down her garment

The walls close in, depression sets in

It's getting hard to just breathe

When the scyte reaps the seed

I no longer know what I need...

Hey, I am amazed, and I can resonate with this on so many levels. All i wanna say is your poem is a beautiful and poignant expression of the deep emotions u've experienced. The way you use language to convey your feelings is truly unique, and it is clear that your words are deeply personal and intertwined with your identity. Your poem is a testament to your talent as a writer, and I have no doubt that you will continue to create works of art that touch the hearts of those who read them.

this seems very dark and painful; you and others are in a state of depression, and perhaps cannot rush out..
the whole universe is suffering...tears flow....desperation and torment...are surrounding you....you're not a martyr just an ordinary person is a chaotic state....strong words fit in perfectly...
