Hidden in the dark,
Filled with sorrow and hurt.
Everything my fault,
Everything going wrong.
I never asked for this,
I never wanted this.
No forgiveness only hatred.
Once is harmful, twice is unbearable.
Eating away at my soul,
this ever lasting emotion of hurt,
It's called Emotional Leprosy.
A disease that eats away at your soul,
Instead of your skin.
The emotion builds up and worsens,
As time goes on.
Slowly it will consume me,
And from any form of sanity I have left,
I will end it all.
Just like leprosy is a disease that kills.
Emotional leprosy is worse,
for it kills you from the inside out.
From your soul first and ends with your heart,
Where once the disease has taken over,
No more will you ever feel happiness.
For the leprosy is destroying all happiness within you,
Until there is only darkness,
Sorrow and pain.

Wow!
I know exactly how you feel on this one... Sometimes I just wish it showed on the outside... I think we wouldn't feel so downtrodden if it did, because then we'd be able to see how many others feel the same way! Lovely write!
