Eden Padgett Poem
I strive to keep the demons at bay
But the depression is seeping in
Clawing and raging and demanding to be heard
And I can't last the night
And I can't seem to fight
I never thought something so hollow could be filled with such unspeakable pain
We can all be surprised
As I was when the doctor said my child would never make it home
I need an outlet for my lightly phrased emotions but paper still seems blank
Drowning
Being pulled down by this vise like velvet grip
I can't breathe anymore
The feelings are crowding my chest and I think I'm being crushed, so slowly but so surely
I could stare into this emptiness for the rest of my wasted life
Empty as what I am not holding in my arms
All my pretense stripped away
All my desperate distractions removed
Now I have to face my crumbling sanity
Alone

Eden Padgett Poem
Is this to be left unsaid?
Shall I swallow all my RAGE?
Leave my bitterness for dead
And choke back my honest words
Just to save your peace of mind
Just to stay and keep you mine
Will you condemn me to this?
My oprison made of silence
Stifle me with your false kiss
Solace of a fight denied
I trust you will ignore this
Just know I hate you for this
Doubts to remain unspoken
Shield you from my righteous pain
One more meaningless token
Of what I no longer feel
Feign what you will, false regret?
But I shall never forget
