Plagued

I feel a plague of loneliness from deep down in my soul. It seems to want me to forget so it can take control. Each one of my memories that I cherish from inside, It hunts them down making them bleed until each of them has died. Inch by inch I feel it creeping through all the parts of me. Before long, I'll start believing the lies that it's conceived. Day by day, I feel it growing who I once was begins to blur. All the while my consciousness knowing there's little hope for a cure. I guess I'll just give in, all that remains now is to succumb. Stop fighting and just let it win be the monster I'm meant to become.

This poem was so sad and deeply troubling. If we let them win, every one around us loses. be strong and fight back because there is always something better waiting just around the corner.
