Darkest Parts of You
The bars of my self made prison tremble
My world begins to shake
Nothing is as it seems
The cracks in the cage grow larger
I start to sink
Enveloped by the darkness
The light begins to dim
The darkness welcomes me like an old friend
I dont fight it anymore
I allow the darkness to wash over me
To consume me
To swallow me up
How can you extinguish that which did not exist
My fight had been beaten from me long ago
My world has been blown to bits so often its barely whole itself
The world cannot save me now
Nobody can save me
Time for everyone to turn a blind eye
To pretend that your coping and doing well
Pretend,
their good at that
Ignoring what’s right in front of them
Conceal it
Cover it up
Brush over the imperfections
Bruises fade right?
The world will go on with or without you
I hold no significance In this place iv wandered aimlessly for 30 years
Down trodden and back stepping
Apologising for things that weren’t my fault
Fighting battles that weren’t my own
Setting up home in these cages all my life
Just swapping one prison for another
This one il not escape
I am my own prison
My mind is dark
My thoughts are all consuming and scary
There’s no way out
Nothing silences the evil
Nothing quietens the fear
How do you erase the darkest parts of you?
