Darkness

Too much is on my mind and It's haunting me like a bad dream. Making it tough to sleep and, When I'm wake when it's effecting me. A form of fear that won't let go of me. I wish I could run away, But it catches up to me And latches on with authority. It makes me mad that no one understands me. Imagine speaking to a deaf person, Who doesn't know how to read? Or walking blind with no one to lead. I'd hate to find out what they really say, With heads turned the opposite way. Talking in code like reading hieroglyphics, I need someone to rescue me from my insecurity. I hate what stress is doing in me, I'm in a dark place and it's killing me; I hate what stress is doing in me. Whether staring at my eye lids, Or Eyes wide open in the dark; It all looks the same, The color pitch black is all around. I'm trying to keep myself, Together and in check. Great at balancing many tasks, Without really breaking a sweat. At times it can become too much Like overloading a circuit with too many plugs. Overpowered and burned out, I need someone to help me out. The fear of being alone and stranded, Has got me lost looking for answers. The weight of fear is falling heavy now, The colors of death are clear now; Help me turn away from my path, Before I go too far on this track.
