Be the change you want to see in the world


Darkness
succinct silence
Standing in the midst of desolate grasslands
And the luminosity of a dark void

Night
Subconsciously, it slowly begins enclose me
The plethora of pain
Staring into the midst of the stars

I encompass myself amongst the grass
The ethereal radiance that resonates in the trees
and the succulent green
that overpowers the air

I hurt
zeniths of frustration
Farragos of thoughts
Gradually eating away at my ability to feel

My willingness to end it
It would be effortless…
My lonely, incapacitated of my heart,
The nullity of me

Easy as pie, I think
I clench the gun to heart
My lively desires trembling
Detaching myself from reality

I am prepared to lose
Then the light of a semi-truck
Illuminates the fields for several seconds
And the feeling surpasses me

The darkness ceases to tear at the bridges
of my failing happiness
And again I am numb
All I can do is stare
And I think, maybe tomorrow

I used to struggle often with depression, and to fight those feelings off I began to write poems, short stories, anything that could transpose my emotions on paper as opposed to actions.
