Despair

the sadness
the crushing grief
pressing closer
ever closer
threatening to swallow me up
i fight and fight
i think i might lose the battle
but still i fight on
winning, losing
day and night
it is overpowering
but i do not give up
the ones i love help me
but they have only a minor part
they cannot fight for me
only give me support
they are just enough 
they keep the balance
if they slip, i might be the one to fall
falling down
into the neverending sorrow
never to come up again
destined to drown
without any hope
entering the void
empty of happiness
sinking down
into despair
never to return

Silence

Silence 
The dead Silence 
That even the smallest sound would shatter 
It is my closest friend 
My only friend since ages 
Passing out of memory 
It knows my secrets 
My fears 
My loves, my hates 
My sorrows, my joys 
It is my sole confidant 
The only I trust 
It shall never betray 
My secrets it will keep 
For all eternity 
It gives me comfort 
Like the sheltering arms of a mother 
Shielding from reality 
Keeping me sane 
When otherwise I would lose all sanity 
It is my protector 
The only thing that hears me cry 
From my sorrowful memories 
From before time existed 
In the time where hell reigned 
On this miserable Earth 
Sealing me from the rest of the world 
Ever to endure this pain I feel 
No respite from this torture 
The only thing 
That helps heal my wounds 
Is Silence 
My protector 
My friend 
My only hope 
My love 
My hate 
My joy 
My sorrow 
Me

The Losing Battle

i am scared
i am losing the battle
against despair
what will happen to me?
will i die?
will i go crazy?
will i quit caring?
im fighting harder
but im still losing ground
it threatens to swallow me
nothing seems to help
is there any help?
i feel alone
no one around me
im sinking into the blackness
it terrifies me
it seems as if no one cares
they have all forsaken me
i think about giving in
stop fighting
the enemy is too strong
impossible to beat
my resistance is crumbling
my soul cries for help
but no one hears
no one cares
they just turn away
ignore my pain
i think about just diving in
embracing the despair
it is all that is left
i slowly feel less and less
except for sadness
the tears have long since quit falling
now i am empty
a mere shell
filled with sorrow
i close my eyes
i think about not waking up
seeking solace in the eternal silence
i dont want to give up
but no one else cares
it pushes me farther down
deeper into the blackness
no one notices
no one cares

The Hand

Here comes the hand
Flying through the air

Here comes the hand
Touch me if you dare

Here comes the hand
Drawing ever nearer

Here comes the hand
It can feel my fear

Here comes the hand
Crooked like a branch

Here comes the hand
Its thirst for pain I cannot quench

Here comes the hand
Feel the strike

Here comes the hand
Hear my cry

There goes the hand
The hand of the father

There goes the hand
I see it no longer

There goes the hand
Given strength by hate

There goes the hand
It is my fate

Here comes the hand
It will soon be done

Not by the father
This time by the son

All things come full circle
This is always true

 
I already know this
My father soon will too
