Hallucinations

I live in darkness

By choice, I wish

But these hallucinations

Are taking control

I can't get a grip,

You don't want to know

The things I see

They haunt my mind

And twist my dreams

Leaving me nowhere to go

Except internally,

There's no other escape

And I reach for something

Others may not understand

I reach for a blade

Take it in my hand,

To release the flesh

Due to the grieving inside

In hopes of letting the blood flow

And cleansing me

Then maybe these hallucinations

Will let me go.

A powerful and direct poem. All of us hold regret and can't lose the memories. Would be nice for a cure. I like the flow of thoughts and the hope in the end. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
