Darkness, fear
The darkness slowly closes behind me,
 Closer and closer,
 Every day I doubt or am brought sadness in my life,
 It creeps closer and closer,
 I feel it about to swallow me up,
 Each day, 
 I fear that one day it will consume me,
 One day,
 And I would be trapped,
  In my own imprisonment of terror,
 That I will not see the light of day again,
 Taste, the taste of food, 
 Or read a book again and enjoy
 Its words of knowledge,
 To feel the touch of a loved one again,
 I fear that one day
 The darkness will consume me 
 And all my sanity with it,
 And I will go in sane with
 The sorrow
 And anger consuming 
 Every bit of my soul that is left of it,
 And consuming me as well, 
 Each and every day,
 The darkness creeps closer
 And closer
 Will the darkness
 Stop
 I don’t know
 But the only times it does
 Is when I’m happy,
 Because of my loved ones around
 Me showing that they care
 Telling me every day that they
 Love me still,
 Every time it gets closer
 I feel myself losing my grip on reality,
 Of whom I am, 
 Of my surroundings
 Who is friend or who is foe,
 Losing grip of my soul I black out at times
 Finding myself in unknown places, 
 Or finding I have hurt myself
 I fear I might lose myself so much,
 That I may hurt myself unknown in some way,
 I’ve been trying to stop this
 Darkness that lurks behind me
 Saying stop, showing that it should stop, 
 Doesn’t seem to hear me
 Trying so hard to STOP it,
 IT DOESN’T SEEM TO STOP!!!
