Hiding This War

The darkness,
The cloak I use,
So often,
To conceal this shameful . . .person,
This person who doesn't care about this,
Other side,
This other side wants revenge now,
It takes over when I’m alone,
And subsides with my fears.

In the shadow of Despair,
Blotting out my words,
Scaring me for life,
Scream as I might I won’t be heard,
Tears of pain roll silently,
Down my face.
On my cheek,
My emotions and thoughts,
Running to get help,
That's never coming.

My insides feel like they're being pulled out,
My eyes are cooking in my skull,
Every cut,bruise,and burn,
Are in pain as I try to run,
But I fall and don’t move,
My knife falls from my grasp,
I see the stars as I fall,
Fall into an abyss,
An abyss of nothingness,
Death.
