Darkest Days

I'm living in a haze,
These dark days. 
Some how always
Getting the best of me

Why won't they leave me be. 
Just set me free. 

My mom freaks. 
My voice too weak

My dad sees
He just leaves. 

But these dark days. 
Even with the haze. 
Keeps me safe. 

Embracing me
I'm free. 
The pain 
With no gain. 
The tears
When no one hears. 

The haze
From my dark days
Lifts me up
And sets me down. 
Only to be a clown. 
To turn my frown 
Upside down

Even though
I'm very low. 
And my days 
With my haze
Makes me sad. 
Makes me mad
It also make me glad. 
I know the haze 
Acts as a maze
Taking me to places. 
Setting up bases. 
For me to visit 
I know I'm gonna miss it. 
When its gone. 

The next morning 
I got a warning 
My beautiful haze
Stating a phrase. 

"Medicine will make you better."
It enunciated each letter. 

I cry
As it waves good bye

A finger down my throat 
And a nurse who gloats
 
A tiny pill. 
Just to kill
Put an end 
To my only friend

My dark days,
Have never felt so dark

Brianna, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
