Seeing black, Confusion Asking questions Do you know where I am? Not here nor there but Everywhere Sadness overwhelms me Why? Do you know why I feel this way? Shouldn’t be this bad Never been like this Before Where is before? What was before? Anger pushes the sadness away Not far enough It will come back I know… But I don’t I don’t remember any time I’ve been happy I can’t think All I can do I feel But feeling is what I am escaping Can’t breathe Can’t see What is happening? Seeing black Seeing red Wish I could go back to… When? Where? Who am i? Am I me? Where do I go? What do I do? I’m going to explode I need answers But who do I ask? I have no one No one to talk to No one who would understand Seeing black Sensing the truth I guess I understand now The darkness is my home I deserve to be here People have stopped being comforting And the darkness never was At least the darkness Doesn’t question my every move The darkness doesn’t judge It isn’t my friend Yet It isn’t the enemy It is my purgatory And all I can do is just wait And hope that the darkness will pass And then I can go back to the light Where my family is Where my friends are Where life is I can go back to being myself And not this shell That could shatter at any moment Until then All I can do is wait Seeing black If you need me If you miss me Just know I am not myself Just know I am in the darkness Holding on to a false sense of hope Holding onto a weak belief I am the child hiding under the covers So the darkness won’t hurt I am the one who is closing her eyes Whispering to herself as she falls… “If I can’t see it… it isn’t there” Seeing black Bleeding red My faith has fallen short again Sadness, like happiness, has its own majestic beauty and must be embraced as a valid emotion, not pushed down as an abnormality. |

Really liked this Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant?? I'm halfway through my fish burger and I realize, Oh man....I could be eating a slow learner. |

its touching really, tore at my heart to know someone is going through this, just wanted to say: Someday everything will make perfect sense, So for now laugh through the confusion Smile through the tears And know that everything happens for a reason (writer-unknown) take care. |

This brought back so many memories of myself when I was 14, having gone through something very similar like this in my life, even now as I'm an adult, I still feel this way sometimes, but its better to let every word out than to show it among yourself, trust me I learned the hard way!
