The darkness is closing in,
i feel it in my skin.
Part of me wants to welcome it,
but another wants to push it away, bit by bit.
I know what the darkness does to me,
the marks on flesh,
secrets revealed,
make them flee!
I don't want to be here, in this place,
that makes me such a case...
everything keeps pushing me,
into this place i don't want to be,
Help me please!
I don't want to go!
Faking a smile,
only for a while,
forcing myself to be,
even if it's not me.
It's so hard pretending,
when all i want is for it to be ending...

That's really good to be honest. At first, before I read the author's notes, I dodn't know what prompt it was for. But now i see it. Great job. Keep penning.

thanks, i thought it fit, and i took the prompt to a new level. instead of thinking how roe felt, i took it to lissa's point of view.
