darkness within

mans fight againts inner darkness

I don’t hear voices in my head...... the only voice I hear is my own,

I wasn’t abused or neglected as a child...... I was loved just like you,

I wasn’t bullied at school..... I had my friends.

But the darkness..... Now that's what separates us

Food tastes bland, peoples voices is just noise, irritating noise

I have a wife I don’t love and children I don’t connect with....

You may wonder why I chose those things.....

Well it’s because I thought it would make the darkness that little bit lighter...

But it didn’t it just fed it... and now.... now I feel as if I can’t breathe...

They tried giving me medication but all it does is make me numb

So numb the darkness can grab hold of me and I can’t get away....

So here I am just me and my darkness swirling through my head

Like an unstoppable twister when will it stop?

When I’m dead....

Where will it stop...?

I’m too afraid to think of that.....

All I can do now is sit here sit and wait for the darkness to take over

And when it does please, please help, no leave and  don’t look back

Much of your writying seems to come from a very dark place. Step out onto the LIGHT> Valentine

Feels like an ocean washing over... pulling one down... the darkness overwhelming... unstoppable... and how the soul cries out for understanding.. Powerful...
