The Me I Was Before

Pure hatred has consumed me, 
both my mind and my soul.
The fire that burns within me 
has taken control.

It’s not a need for vengeance 
or trying to right a wrong, 
but a desire to find the peace within me, 
that once was so strong.

The power of love can fill you 
with hope of what might be,
and every happy dream 
becomes a real possibility.

The hole that’s left engulfs you,
when that gets taken away
and creates a space for evil 
to come inside and stay.

The morbid thoughts often scare me 
and I’m afraid of who I am. 
This person I’ve become, 
I just don’t understand.

It was one act of betrayal 
that changed me to the core.
I wish I could go back to 
the me I was before.

Gypsy Curse

I fell into a spiral 
and it seems there’s no way out. 
Strength is leaving my body 
all hope replaced by doubt. 

I think what broke my heart, 
crept into my soul as well.
My mind just goes in circles 
and I’m trapped in this living hell.

The strangest thing I’ve noticed 
after being here so long, 
is that I’m starting to believe 
this might be where I belong. 

Anxiety and depression 
are like a double gypsy curse.
The harder you fight to get out 
makes the waves seem even worse.

Trying hard to keep from drowning, 
but still wanting to let go.
One minute begging God to take you, 
in the next minute screaming no.

I finally started building 
huge walls inside my mind. 
Not even wanting to peer over, 
afraid of what I’d find.
