Darkness

Darkness dwindled over me like the roaring of the sea

Like the weight of a heavy fog dragging me to my doom

Like a blanket of darkness with no way out

Like a force field of blackness with no escape outlet

Like swimming in a sea of blackness with no light to see—that consumes your soul as part of its mold

I cry out amid the darkness but no one can hear my inner cries—my reprieve is only to die

This darkness has attributes attached to its being—darkness, depression, despair, hopelessness, suicide

It provides no defense—no matter where I turn, the darkness is there

Nothing in life provides me with light—so I really just don’t care
