My Darkness

skyebellasario

I wish it was as easy

To lift my mood

As it is to dampen it.

 

One moment I am

Laughing in the face

Of all my troubles.

 

The next they are swamping me

Into a deep, dark abyss.

And shadows of my demons

Are passing my vision.

 

Somehow their smothering hands

Clamp around my neck.

 

At first, it seems as if

There is no chance

I will ever climb out.

 

Then a soothing smile becomes

A flicker of hope

That beams across the emptiness.

And I can finally

Begin to breathe again.

    Dangling in your own mind.. in my opinion it’s the hardest battle you’ll ever face.. and yet In short moments the most peaceful one.
