Poem: I''m scared of my emotions
More turbulent than a stormy ocean
Will there be no end to this eternal commotion?
Will I stabilize or stay in downwards motion?
There''s a battle between logic and love;
trailed by emotions of self-hate
Yet I pull myself through another day,
unwilling to escape
Biting my tongue while hoping not to be late
Ripping at my nails while contemplating this dark fate
I feel so alone; surrounded by friends
As another misfortune unfolds
on which I''m forced to contend
My strength is almost gone which allows me to pretend
How will I survive until my bitter end?

I tear what little is left of me apart
Suffering atrophy of the heart
Another hope arises; then I''m forced to depart
My dreams were a concoction; faulty from the start

Alone once again tears fill my eyes
I shut them off because this is no surprise
All hope stripped away by a dark force in disguise
I''m beginning to wonder if I''ll come to my demise

The sun so bright can''t even penetrate my skin
This wretched depression refuses to let light in
I''m frail, broken, and defeated deep within
I''ve tried and struggled and my emotions are spread thin...
