I Fall Asleep

Something I've felt and written before 'I'm Just... Tired"

Knees to my chest, while wrapped in my arms,

I sit up on my bed so big, I feel so small.

Into a mirror I stare, across from me,

An oval opal rimmed portal, I looked and saw me.

 

My heart so dark, I could see its outline amidst the swarthy vicious ambience.

A small ray sent by the moon, sneaks its way into my room.

As another day passes, things change, yet I remain the same.

Despising myself, my tears yearn for a different me.

 

I want, but my will is weak. As another day passes,

I recline deeper within myself, gripping my arms.

My soul tenses, as I see my hope,

A silver coin tossed into the abyss, my heart in the mirror.

Unable, to even see a glimmer.

 

My life an incessant cycle, that remains unchanged, undisturbed.

My body relaxes, and I lay slumped shoulders across my bed,

My reflection hates my weakness, as I hold disdain towards my will.

Contempt fades into my mattress, my mind blank,

As the darkness within the mirror leaks out.

 

Consuming me. Eating away my consciousness,

Who promises to do better the next day.

What guile human I am.

 

I fall asleep.

Author's Note

Definitely not the best drawing out there, but it still took me awhile to do.
(Here's a drawing Rose :D, will definitely draw more in the future, since this one isn't very good in general.)

The imagrey you chose to use was very good, painting a clear picuture. On the surface, this is truely art. But if you dig a little deeper, the message is a dark one. One i understand all too well myself

[Soma-ko]

Can't tell if I'm glad you see the message underneath or not, but there definitely is one, and it's not very sightly. Thank you for the compliment, and interesting, how you saw it.
