Long Days Journey out Night
Alone in my room more a cage, a chamber in hell,
Heaven so high so far away
The Darkness creeps in, fills the emptiness with fear, chokes you like smoke
helplessness, Uselessness, NOTHINGNESS
Then the demons come, from the Dark Days Gone Down
They surround you, clawing, Gnawing, TEARING
at your heart, your Mind, your Very SOUL
They have names: depression, Addiction, EXTINCTION
They pull and Pull and PULL
to the cliff, to the Edge, to the END
You fight them
flesh bruises knuckles broken fingernails wrenched away
The Abyss down below, shame and despair worse than death
strength ebbs,
hope fades,
faith fails
Give up, Give in, Give over, you don’t matter,
you never did
you never will
wait, Wait, WAIT
a Bell rings, a door opens and friendship comes barging in,
with a smile brighter than sunshine and a laugh that fills the room
a cup of tea, a hug of sympathy, the promise of mercy
The Demons run from the light, from the Love
Strength Renewed
Hope Rekindled
Faith Reborn
You’re not alone… You never were
