Awake
I wake up in the middle of the night,
Only to see,
Lays beside me,
Loneliness, Depression and Anxiety.
I try to sleep again,
Only to experience,
My darkest fears,
And all my pain.
I try to close my eyes for a while,
Trying to be calm and peaceful,
Thinking about happiness,
And the days colourful.
All I am left with,
A pillow under my head,
Though I breathe,
Yet I feel dead.
Little later I experience tears sliding down,
Tearing me apart and pulling me down,
Leaving me in a puddle of tears,
A wet pillow and a heart fully pierced.
During the daylight,
I scream in my room,
During the night,
I hear my soul shrieking in my room.
I try to not deal with violence,
I hear loneliness whispering in silence,
I see myself burning down,
Feeling myself breaking down.
I try to relieve cherishable memories,
All I'm left with a hitting-hard reality.
