Darkness

the darkness
overwhelms me 
eats at me 
takes over 
controls me 

every night before i go to bed i pray
that the darkness does not take over me

every morning before i go to school 
i wish that someone could help me


nobody can help me im all alone soon 
the darkness will swallow me whole
leaving nothing in my place but a empty shell

i feel everyday it goes inches up my body 
i first felt it when i was young it was at my knees

now the darkness is at my neck trying to get to my head 
the control panel the place where i think

i see all my friends enjoying there lives
while i wallow in my own self pity and anguish 

wont you join me
wont you comfort me
wont you stay 
no oh sorry i bothered you 

goodbye
