In the dark.

In the dark.

A Poem by WordsFromAPen
"

Mental health is a constant battle

"
I'm in the dark
Again
I'm in the dark alone
Again
I'm in the dark alone and lost
Again

I feel lonely
Again
I feel lonely and misunderstood
Again
I feel lonely, misunderstood and forgotten
Again

I feel different
Again
I feel different and invisible
Again
I feel different, invisible and replaceable
Again

I feel empty
Again
I feel empty and broken
Again
I feel empty, broken and missing
Again

I feel weak
Again
I feel weak and ashamed
Again
I feel weak, ashamed and desperate
Again

I feel crazy
Again
I feel crazy and hazy
Again
I feel crazy, hazy and lazy
Again

I feel dull
Again
I feel dull and boring
Again
I feel dull, boring and unmotivated
Again

I feel unstable
Again
I feel unstable and unsure
Again
I feel unstable, unsure and insecure
Again

Over and over again

I question my existence
I wonder my purpose
I search for forgiveness
I call out for change

I lose all my battles
I gain very little
I search for the answers
I fall prey to my shame

I want to get better
I want to break free
I want to feel happy
I want to delve deep.

The repetitive structure here helps to bring home the speaker's state of mind very effectively. Has the sound of a mood disorder. Such things are indeed constant battles. Good luck to you.
