For years I stumbled Through the darkness Of the abyss Pursued by monsters And demons I never saw them I only heard them Sometimes I prayed that they only figments Of my own imagination Other times I prayed that they were real And often I’d wonder Did they ever ask the same of me? […]
Depression & Mental Health
untitled poem – something about anxiety
Excessive self analysing Serious misgivings Forever second guessing Every action, every word Confronted by Insurmountable walls of fear Blocking me Every way I turn But I don’t even know What I am terrified of I have nothing to fear Nothing to lose No money, no fame Neither popular nor cool But still I am scared […]
Citizen of Darkness
A frisson of excitement Frees me If only for a moment From the prison I too often Find myself inside Barely able to function Forced to suffer The pains of yesterday How did I ever get this way? No longer living I survive Having lost all zest for life A citizen of Darkness Since I was […]
Native

Nightfall
Night falls Bringing with it The stars Crashing down Leaving The whole world In shadow But day Will always follow night And as night falls Day is never far behind Tumbling after And breaking On the ground Shards of sunlight Piercing the veil Of darkness
Moth to the Flame
Like a moth To the flame My unguarded mind Is drawn To the thoughts I know will serve Only to burn But I suffer The flame Enduring The burning For the biggest mistake I could make Would be to shy Away from the fire Away from the light And live a life In darkness Response […]
The Void Calls To Me
The void Calls my name Making promises Of freedom Peace Silence Trying to tempt me Into the darkness And there are times When it is hard to resist The sirens that live there Luring me With their melodious voices But I must resist If not for me Then for those Who can’t fight this on […]
