My misery doesn't need company
My misery doesn't need company
They say misery loves company, but see,
My misery works alone just he verses thee,
He thrives on the bleakness,
And the depravity of my loneliness,
While my guard is down he takes full advantage of my vulnerabilities
He attacks when I'm exposed, thinking hes beating my abilities,
Lurking he begins to stalk my thoughts
Attacking, and corrupting my mind with force
Awakening demons from the depths of my mind,
Haunting shadows I had banished away for being unkind,
They have risen up like a metaphorical, mental, tidal wave and it's heading for me,
It aims to drown my mind in a salty sea of self pity and misery,
As Self doubt, self loathing, and overthinking, drag me down
Regret, disappointment and jealousy weigh me to the ground,
My misery doesn't care for company, he works alone,
But try as he might he can't break my heart as it's turned to stone,
He continues to mentally torture me, with my own demons from the dark,
But my essence my soul continues to still light a little spark,
Pushing back the darkness and misery, bringing forth the light of day,
Filling my mind with hope that one day, misery may eventually just fade away.
