Dark Place
It hurts my deepest core
Makes me want to strip away my humanity
So I would no longer have to feel anymore
It slowly shreds my sanity
Bringing to light the darkest
Parts of my soul.
It reminds me of my darkest days
I feel my repeated and continuous pains
That tortures me in so many ways
In ways in which I will never be able to explain.
I often try to convince myself that
It's just a phase,
But my efforts are forever in vain
Its punishment is far too severe
It recreates my worst nightmares
It suffocates me, weakens me
Until I am stripped of my strength
And unbending stubbornness
It brings me to my knees,
Where I am helpless
And it keeps me there until I beg
And is granted forgiveness.
