Long lost words whisper in my ear,
“You’ve been gone far too long, welcome back my Dear.”
The faint smell of defeat dances around my nose,
The Darkness has been waiting for me to slip up, it's always so close.
The Creatures await for a long night ahead,
Where they can feast on the living and sleep amongst the dead.
I thought they only come out for one night, but that thinking was wrong,
The Darkness never leaves because they’ve been here all along!
They’re the voices in our minds that tell us, we’re not good enough,
They’re the ones laughing and smiling when things in our lives get rough.
This may not be part of a Halloween story,
But the Darkness is a real monster, take it from me.
When life gets chaotic and disastrous like a cyclone,
Understand that you are never alone.
We can defeat The Darkness by smiling every day,
It’ll grow weaker, because you my Brave soldier, have decided to stay.
Thank you Samantha! Lol, I didn't mean to scare. Nightmares are just fairytales if you turn the lights on- my grandmother used to tell me that. Thank you Ladyreck67! As someone who has lost a few friends due to suicide, writing this poem was one of the many beauties that came from the pain in my life.
This I can understand
