The Darkness Within

Anxiety and depression,

these two hold hostage my mind.

Fueling the fire burning inside,

leaving me far behind.

As racing thoughts causes damage to a heart,

Everyday is a struggle to restart.

Anxiety, the worrying, fear and insomnia

keeps me up late at night,

The darkness within, a constant fight

Scared of the unknown,

I search for that end of the tunnel light,

That I never seem to find.





Depression, squeezing the life out of my chest

It makes me feel like I am never at my best

With the mood swings, the anger, the frustration

It never ends;

Together, they are quite a pair;

feeling like I'm stuck in the mud,

Suffocating;

With no air in my lungs.

It's like I'm already dead .

After the storm, the sun shines brighter than before.

If a door closes; another will open and will heal your inner core.

So, take my hand and walk beside me on the ocean shore.
