As the Other Me Takes Over

Society is a reason that has just ran cold, Like the tempature I'm feeling never seems to get ahold, The sadness lingers over and the beauty starts to fade, When I saw all the negative on the news today, The darkness that is surrounding me has found a new home, Deep inside my brain it swells trying to kill the bold, The new found confidence I had seems to have been old, Like the old man with the cancer that has just got told, I know he's still with me in my heart and in my soul, but I just can't stand what this new year has to hold, Will it be good for me, will I see, All the positive, when will the demons stop to breathe? There like vultures in my body, I can feel them feed, All this happiness that I held, were they just a dream? I've found a medicene that will kill the pain, of the hurt I share, Your pain it scars me like a knife cutting threw the care, The worry of this generation is not what it should be, But I was left with a gift, I'm lucky too be me. Can I be the light, In the darkness? Can I bare the stake running threw your lungs, Can I be the air that you breathe when the whole worlds died, Can I be the tears in the midst of happiness you cried? Please love me now and in return I'll make your life worth while, and you won't know what is hurt, I'll heal your wounds and take you from your life, Give you a new start and I'll set things right, I see the innocense in a noose every single night, I wish I could pick them off the rope so high, What would drive them too that point, I regret the days I spent, Being so unhappy in the life I live, I'm trying to be proud in a world where it's scarase, Where children have no parents, Where the government is only but single Tyrants, So make my job easy and give me the knife, That will kill these lunatics that crave the night, That don't do whats right, I will train in the darkness where I'm the only light, I will rid the world of there parrell and strife. Please god just save me tonight.

Hi Hannah, I must say - excellent write! I love how the words flow fluidly into each other making the read though poignant highly enjoyable. The way you’ve dealt with the theme of darkness and living tosee another day - excellent. I’m certainly looking forward to read more of your work. Vicky.
