Deep End

Staring at the blank walls You think of the what ifs The what it could be, The why it happened You’re stuck Stuck in a battle of the past Begging for peace Begging for a way out Staring into the distance You make yourself distant Having feelings of failure Feelings of guilt Bringing thoughts to give up Hoping you can just give in Feeling you’ll never win Not knowing where you fit Wanting to jump off the deep end Unable to control the anger within When you’ve fallen When control feels lost Searching for hope Lost in a painful memory Hoping for a way to let someone in Wanting the pain to subside again Aching for a second chance Staring at the blank walls A hard battle that won’t be effortless Remembering there will always be a reason to fight A chance to conquer Past the demons plaguing within.

It was once thought that schizophrenic people were possessed by demons. They were demonized and got an exorcism to get rid of the demons. Dark and every piece. Thank you!

Very well done Amber. All we can do is to make friends with the demons and hope they will cease their torment.
