Blackness of the Heart

Blackness surrounding,
The darkness closes in.

Devouring my sense of self,
Destroying my soul.


No hope left in this world,
Empty,
hollow feelings.
No way forward, no way back,

Always stuck in the middle.

Fear,
depression and anger,
Twisted torture hurting.

Pitiful crying, shaming,
Causing self-hurt.


An explosion of sudden feelings,
Not
needed here and now.
Wishing they'd stop,
Wishing
the crippling confusion would go away.
