DIMINISH

I have been banished to the dark side of my mind
Where only thoughts that diminish work their magic

Hell’s spirit laughs in my face and sends echoes
This brings a chill to my spine leaving the deepest marking

Why do I visit such a horrendous place?
The place that only feeds forces capable of harming me

I have let my life live on its own terms
And on the way it has lived without my knowing

Oh, the utter despair this cast upon me!
I NEED somebody to feed off of to gain sanity

I need someone to love me through the deepest depths of oceans
Never wanting to be dry again!

Thanks for taking the time to look at this! Please tell me what you think.

sometimes we need sad to be able to feel happy, or because sad is all we can feel at that time, all that makes us feel alive

I like this poem
