My Darkness

A heart contained to this world lying desolate

My soul is empty save for the emotion bleeding

I writhe in agony as my lungs gasp for breath

The weight of uncertainty is pressed upon my chest

Success is the pyrite to my journey

failure is the assurance to which I find fault in my own eyes

I feed my mind an ounce of positivity

only to be dragged into the mires of unquelled fears

My mind is flooded with thoughts and creativity

but the dam that stifles the flow is darkness

I subject myself to the tortures of self doubt

I find discomfort in living an unfulfilled life

but the questions of my purpose which have led me to this point

are steeped with abject reasoning...Why

Why?

WHY?

I beat myself to submission

I force myself to stand

but days and days go on and on and on

and my knees are buckling under this pressure

I am the weight that's pushing down on myself

I am the cause of my pain

Author's Note

Yes, I make words up as I go sometimes.
