Darkness Within

A lyric, A poem, A confession.

By Zachary M. Cain (Creative/Copy Writing)Published 4 years ago 1 min read

There is a deep darkness within myself that I can not shake.

I can not break the feelings that make my heart and mind ache.

I wake everyday without thought, lost in a void.

Void of any positive point to fix the heartbreak.

Avoid any personal attachments that make me try to be better.

I try to be clever, but can never find the time to revise my scene ever.

I even tried to eat better, tried to change the negative habituals.

Even mental cleanse rituals, could not help me keep leveled.

Im a mess and so I have been perfectly broken in twain.

Unwoken and been bane while I have been soaking in this pain.

Mind racing while im facing this and trying to be patient,

But I cant be complacent when I am coping with this shame.

Hopeless and insane, my soul is broken and bruised.

Opened is this wound that I chose to cope with in cruise.

Control, I have none now and I have left my luck rundown.

So I will never come back around, I have been chosen to just lose.

I am over this whole ruse... that I am happy with myself.
