Writing in The Dark

Blight

"Dragons Breath" 8x10 Acrylic by; Keith McHugh

I can't see what's wrong with me,

I've done so much in this reality,

Being the best I could be,

Just to make you happy.

Now darkness is all I see,

Depression has a hold on me,

Confusion is my reality,

My reflection is failing me.

I don't feel worthy,

My soul feels dirty,

I say things that hurt me,

My heart is burning.

I'm yearning for the end,

So my wounds can mend,

Bending my will,

To climb up that hill.

Falling back into the fill,

Swimming with the swill,

A hard pill to swallow,

I hope it's over tomorrow.

Today started in sorrow,

Looking for money to borrow,

My being feels so low,

I no longer wish to grow.
