What To Do

I don't know what to do
my frustration and anxiety
are eating away at my soul
like the moon does the sun
during an eclipse
and as my soul gets darker and darker
I feel myself slipping back into my old ways
marking my skin with a blade
and covering up like nothings wrong
all I want to do is cry
but tears don't want to fall
I just don't know what to do
anymore

Please, reach out for the light you can see! Hold onto it! Even though it's dim. Don't stray from it even though the darkness is pulling so hard! Take a walk and see the beauty in nature. If you could see yourself thru the eyes of those who care for you, you would see value and hope.
