Conversations in the Dark (Poem)

•••

For countless nights I lay awake.

Wishing for my soul to take a break from the madness in my head.

Release me from the capsule I’m in.

Take me away will ya?

Take me to a place where paradise lays.

Or will the burning gates of hell take me in?

Perhaps the warmth will comfort me.

Don’t you hear my prayers?

Don’t you see the agony I’m in?

Can’t you hear me calling for your help?

Is it not my time yet?

Or do you just not exist?

I don’t understand.

I’m exhausted.

The hope I have is barely there.

Why’d put me on this earth

If all I’m doing is suffering.

Is this suppose to be a test?

Do I fight through the obstacles of life and everything will be alright?

What if I can’t anymore?

...

Hello,

Probably wondering how I am after reading that, I am fine! Had this idea where I wanted to write down what goes on in my head when I have a mental breakdown. There might be a pt2 of this, I don’t know yet. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

-Tam :)
