Tyler Leivers Poem
Don’t let the darkness sink in
Within a blaze of pain and of fire
You will be ridiculed
You feel how we feel
Hot and yet unbearably cold
With limited sense of remorse
No-one will arrive
You are your own messiah
You are your own
You yourself are your own judge
Your own jury
You are complacent
Yet you do not know what it means
You are the mask I wear
I fake envisionment
I fake the trust I put,
Within you
Believe in myself I say
Trust within yourself,
They say!
Do not give in
Within yourself is your own path
Is your own sustenance
Believe in no one
Yet they beg for yours
Do not give in
You are worth,
MORE!!!!

Tyler Leivers Poem
The deepest dark
Like an unaware monster it sits within
It hungers for you and all
Unsure of its’ meaning
Yet it already feels diminishing
If you let it crawl around inside
You will will only find its’ call
Metastasizing inside your mind and soul
Its’ stench is foul
That of a musk you cannot describe
Driving you to become the creature it intends
Become what you must, they say
You must do what it takes, they say
Defeat your demons from outside to within
Hold in captive
It held you like the prisoner of war
It will retreat back into the shadow
For that is where it knows best
It lies in secret, growing its’ nest
It has no name yet for you haven’t given it one
It knows your name
It knows your name
Let it grow and fester into the beast you need it to be
When it is done
It will feed on the light you hold dear
It will suck out your will and replace it with fear
You can only sense what is doing
Then one moment
A split second is all it takes
For it to rise up and out of the deepest abyss
You should now know its’ name
It is you
A shell of who you once were
Taking and feeding on the life of others
Planting its’ seeds within
Do not succumb to its’ tempt, they say
These are testing times, they say
It cannot control you, they say
Yet all you know is to bend to its’ will
To its’ strength
To its’ tenacity
To its’ ferocity,
It knows your name
Just as much as you know it is only you
A remanence from your past
A ghost of your future self
You know its’ name
Defeat it from outside to within
Defeat its’ concerning words
Defeat its’ conquering breath
Stimulate its’ flame
Let it grow and multiply
For it needs to grow inside you
A bear sleeping inside the chasm of your mind and soul
Listen and beg for the strength
Listen and beg to overcome
Its’ name
You must climb those mountains
Reach into the crevasse of yourself
Where it lies in wait
Hungry for your own self
Who you once were can win
But it is who you were once
It is your, deepest dark.
