Darkness invades from
the depths of my soul
Fighting the madness
no where to go
Loved ones all around
watching me plummet and fall
As I sink into the nothingness
no matter how hard they call
Time seems to stand still
I am lost in space
Memories from my past
demons I can't escape
Running frantically crying
no end in sight
Bad men always catch me
am I losing the fight?
Guilt feelings invade
for my family left behind
They are always there for me
as I slowly lose my mind
I will never give up
trying to find the light
Sanity my destination
as I keep wandering in the night

A beautiful write. Heartfelt. Deep expression of emotion. Dark and painful, expressing sadness palpably through your words. Good flow, rhyme and tone. Nice imagery. Good word choice, alliteration and assonance. Well penned. Best wishes in the contest.

Good work- and you don't ever have to feel that way again.

Powerfully heartfelt and emotional... it takes a lot of strength and courage to lay ones pieces of brokeness before others! I can relate and I feel your pain... the writing does help, so let it escape through your pen always! Blessings to you my friend!
