Falling down a hole A deep dark black hole, Again. Screaming a silent scream That only I hear The scream that echoes Throughout my mind Of my pain My suffering My denial That no one else hears Falling deeper into the hole That dark, inky black Nothingness The one I feared I would One day return to Where the darkness swallows Your every being, Where it is so silent It could drive you to insanity From the repeated beat of your heart Over and over and over again So I curl up into a ball Looking out the window To the reality everyone sees And lives in Except me. I live in a cold, dark, damp world. Surrounded by a barrier that I Can’t go past, and to other people The sparkle in my eyes left And was replaced with a dull, Dark look. I think I’m stuck here. Please help me. Bring the light back into my eyes. Free me from this dark, empty chamber Echoing with my screams Drain the poison from my veins Replace the coldness with your love. Your warm care, your happiness. Bring me back to a place I feel happy to be alive Bring me back to a place that is real, and living. Bring me back to your reality.
