Who goes there?
Dark and deeply rooted
Spreading widely
I can feel your presence
Invasive
I am left without a proper defense
I try to rid myself of it
But it is futile
The storm inside me
It is coming
I calm myself
Now I can see
Look at the destruction
Disaster surrounds me
I loathe my scars
The ones buried so deep
I beg you, please do not get the best of me
I do not know how they got started
But I wish for us to be parted
Someday I will find a way
I will be free from you
Some day
But for now, I will drown
Feel uncomfortable in my own skin
Ask myself who I am
Neglect to be my own best friend
I tell myself things I do not want to hear
Let the paranoia whisper in my ear
I hold on until my hands bleed
I get lost in the madness
Goodbye serenity
How do I find my footing?
My desired stability
Take a good look in the mirror
Accept full responsibility
Account for my mistakes
Make myself a priority
Learning to love myself
And have faith in all that is meant to be
Hi Dani,
I read this several times. Very good. Dark and then springs forward. I wonder what was going on for you when you wrote it.
Always love your writings,
Lauren
