Alone

Alone

A Poem by Jennifer
"

written while I was a patient in hospital.

"

I’m alone with my sadness

my only companion is my suicidal thoughts

everything is a black hole, especially my mind

I want to destroy myself

I have lost my will to live, it has run off with my hope

leaving me miserable and lonely

outside, the weather strongly contrasts with me

as many times as the sun and clouds come out, the faster I sink into the dark abyss

the darkness surrounds me, comforting, 

as it is the feeling that I have grown to accept and feel the most

it seems friendly at first, makes you sleepy, 

keeps you company when you push everyone else away

but then, it attacks

it now controls you, taking a hold on your thoughts and turning them against you

with a dizzying spiral of shame and self-hatred 

it makes you despise the monster you’ve become

you see the only way to rid yourself of the darkness is to make everything quiet forever

you no longer want to live, and that scares you.

Ultimately lies with self, that's what I view in this. A hint of it, just don't let go, you are your greatest power.

Such a "taunting poem," someone else would say, but I must say that this is what has become of my life. Your words give a lot of meaning.

Welcome to WC and please don't hesitate to send me reading requests. (:
