Darkness

As the darkness and insanity
encloses around me
I try to think of better times.
Back when I was a little girl,
before I knew the horrors of the world.
I try to cheer up
but,
no matter where I hide the darkness always finds me.
No matter how fast I run it always catches up.
Just when all is well
the pain comes rushing back.
I don't even know why I feel so sad and angry.
I crumble to my knees as I cry.
Forget what the voices tell you,
you must go on and fight.
I watch as the rain
continues to fall,
wondering when it will stop.
I try to think of better times,
of joyful songs and children's rhymes.
But,
no matter where I hide the darkness always finds me.
No matter how fast I run it always catches up.
Just when all is well the pain comes rushing back.
I still don't know why,
but I cry.
I know that this can't last forever.
No matter how hopeless it feels I will never give up.
No matter how bad I'm wounded
I
WILL
FIGHT.

So you want to hear the story of my life? I was born, I live, and one day I will die.

Colors

Sometimes, during certain moments, I feel so strong. At other times, I'm instantly overcome by such a deep sadness...Something I don't understand but that lives deep within me.

Give It All Away

I give it all away. Trade my hate for more pain. Watch my happiness drain. As my mind goes insane. Nothing else will remain. Stood alone in the rain. Bad thoughts stuck in my brain.

All your mates are dead, You got madmen's thoughts whirling round your head, Your boyfriends left you, And you feel like leaving too, But cheer up, rubie.

Down Day

Drowning in a darkness. Of deep despair. Believing the lies I hear. And seeing truths not there. See the rays of sunlight. They shine upon your scars. Reaching for that broken smile.

United We'll Stand

Many great things. May happen to you. But no matter what. You'll always feel blue. You'll laugh. And you'll cry. This doesn't matter. You'll just wanna die. People won't know. They don't understand.

Living became a struggle. Breathing hurt. What if I'm too messed up to remember how to breathe. What if no amount of medicines, therapists, hope can save me.
