“DARK KING”
Do you ever just wonder, Why the dark thoughts never seem to end? Why the light always seems to fade away? Why the suicidal cravings keep overshadowing your will to live, Why you can’t escape the prison of the dark Do you ever just sit there, Befuddled and astounded Lifeless as your breath slowly stills As your blood drives away from your heart, And the thoughts only get senile Do you ever try, To look for a glimmer of hope While you’re being devoured By eternity’s most unfri

“WHERE WERE YOU”
Where were you, When I needed you most? When I stopped my time To listen to you? Where were you When I was being put through hell When my heart was being tortured When I cried my eyes out Where were you When I screamed your name When my soul was being dragged out of my body As they reshaped my emotions in your absence They were now done with me, They succeeded in breaking me down completely Every last shred of hope Was now lost For days, I couldn’t discern Reality against fic

"VUOTO"
I want to cry But there’s no tears I want to scream my lungs out But not a single sound lets loose I want to say how I feel But it’s not real I want to say “I LOVE YOU” But I can’t I want to know you’re okay But I don’t I want to say its real and true But it’s not I can’t feel I have no remorse I constantly defy reason Time and time again I break limits beyond my capabilities I have no expressions My plaintity knows no bounds My depression knows no limits I’m “Empty” I have

"CONFESSIONS"
Depression, crippling anxiety, pain, Sadness, anger, hurt, Tears, sorrow, mischief, Agony, heartbreak, denial I could pick one and describe how it feels every single step of the way. Waking up, feeling suffocated; can’t breathe, can’t move, can’t say a single word. Only thoughts cross my head in that single moment. I really don’t wanna be alive anymore. Why am I here? Who am I here for? What has being here changed? What am I doing here? I constantly face this each morning, ha

OUT OF LIFE
My eyes are heavy, So full like the stained Graveyard on my lips Filled with death. It is too much. I do not know how much more I can take, I have been holding on too long. It is 3 am and I am nauseated Not feeling, Still plagued With the madness lingering beneath. What is going on in my mind, Where is the peace, What has happened to my soul, Now lost in anguish? Find me, Please find me. I am sinking lower each day, So someone please help. I am tired Oh so tired. It hurts

ETERNITY
Spent an eternity wondering If that was me Blindly locked in, True form, mirror trapped, reflected. What has been seen Remains a mystery still, Like the source of life, All that is, all that we are. If death truly was the healer, And life, the most gruesome lessons, Where does that leave Our presence on this fickle earth? Why is there no peace For the innocent, Hope for the lost, Love for the weary. Each streak of blood Through these persons Has been a thousand lifetimes O
