Darkness

Deep into the darkness

I peer

and I see,

all my horrible truths

reflected back on me.

The skeletons

I try so hard to ignore

are dancing at my back door begging to be let in

and fill my head-

the only thing

I can wish for -

is to be dead.

Dance on my soul,

taps

and ballet

I sigh and I scream

for peace from this play

but rest-

is not what they have in store,

as they scratch at my brain

and ask for more.

I can no longer fight them

they're stronger than me

Those skeletons,

in the dark,

when I peek in-

I see.

Author's Note

I don't really expect this to get rave reviews. I am just trying to get as much of my writing up on here to get noticed. My book is the reviews and critique that I beg for. This is just my emotions coming out onto me.
