 Penciled Thoughts

Very Real


I can be ridiculous
When stuck inside a dream.
It causes me to want to fight
Starts my mind to scream.

The thoughts of being dead
Are distressing as can be.
Opens up my troubled mind
Much wider than the sea.

To see the vastness of a thought
I recall the things I did.
Remembering what it was like
When I was just a kid.

That emptiness of long ago
Is recurring in my life.
It torments me and frightens me
Causing me great strife.

Now tears across my keyboard
Deep despair in how I feel.
Exposes me to emptiness
That is so very real.

I know how to get out
Of the depression I'm in
But I feel I will fail
Returning to like it's been

I would have to face
Nightmares that plague my mind.
Flooding memories of the pain
Desolation's all I'll find.

How come I have this garbage
Seeping from my brain?
I'm trampled by my loneliness
As I slowly go insane.
