The Darkness is Me

We all have a darker side to ourselves. Some choose to hide it, while others choose to embrace it.

I'm surrounded by darkness,

I wonder why,

I cannot see anything,

Am i blind?

I feel like I'm being consumed,

From the head to the ground,

Somebody please help me,

I feel like I'm being drowned.

Is this a nightmare?

I can't open my eyes,

I'm scared, I'm crying,

Am I going to die?

I hear voices from a distance,

It must be mom and dad,

But they are crying loudly,

Have I been bad?

I hear another voice, 

That sounds just like me,

Who is that person,

Controlling my body?

I can't scream,

I can't shout,

I cry for anyone,

To let me out.

Someone please help me,

I can't control my hands,

I'm going to hurt the people I love,

I don't understand.

I'm confused and scared,

My body won't listen,

My parents aren't moving,

And I feel so shaken.

My vision clears and there's blood,

But I finally feel free,

Not knowing that the darkness,

Was actually me.
