Darkness

Darkness……

Darkness looms around me I can feel it’s hot ugly breath

My skin crawls, my heart cries, I’m running away from death

Faster, faster, hurry, quickly, just don’t turn around

Lurching onward my aching feet stumble on the ground

My heads whirling, sickness seeks to overwhelm me

The vomit rises in my throat and my head is feeling heavy

The darkness is moving faster now, I am all done in

I collapse upon the floor, the world begins to spin

My heart is pounding from my chest I can hear it in my head

I just want to be swallowed whole, longing to be dead

A little voice cries out to me I can hear it in the dark

I’ve got you love, I’m here hold on, look there is a spark

A light I see far away from me, I crawl till it gets brighter

I cannot stop I must move on because I am a fighter

Depression overwhelms at times, it likes to take control

But little does depression know, it cannot take my soul

The little part of me I hold as tightly as can be

The inner bit, the secret part that truly makes me, me
