OK, I've been thinking about putting this one up since this forumopened but I'm a bit scared.
the poetry I write is not pretty, as I write most of it when I'm depressed, so don't go thinking I'm crazy! Its supposed to be theraputic.


Inside the perils of my mind
where fear doth cast its shadow on my face
darkness hangs above my head
It feeds the pain, the fear I dread

lonliness becomes me
like a hangmans noose around my neck
it tightens
crushing me
until I am forced to give in to my fear

darkness overwhelms me
engulfs my world
envelopes all I am

I am not free
but by my fear confined

And as I fade to nothing
I disappear into the hollows of time
Madness fills the void I leave behind.
