[hometext] => she will never let me leave...
[bodytext] => I feel at home in the still of the night,
Where darkness & pain hold onto me tight,
I am haunted by the ghosts of yesterday,
& inside my soul forever will they stay.
I lay still breathing so quiet,
While inside me head’s an ongoing riot,
A tirade of black shadows clings to my skin,
Making me suffer both outside & within.
To me feeling happy is strange & unreal,
I do feel familiar when my soul starts to peel,
Ghouls & horrors appear from my past,
Eating through me a hole that’s gaping & vast.
My depression has long become a deadly friend,
She stops my brain from starting to mend,
But I am used to her being inside my head,
She says she loves me, yet she wants me dead.
But I don’t want to die dark lady oh please,
Show me some mercy as I’m down on my knees,
You have killed my soul it lays there so broken,
I have too long listened to the evil words you have spoken.
All I ask is that you release me from your power,
I have been crushed like a tiny, wilting flower,
I beg you to free me allow me to breathe
Why my dark Princess won’t you allow me to leave?

This was very sad and, I am at a loss for words really.
You write very poetically Pixie, but it breaks my heart to know that someone lives like this.

I must say, you've written such a deeply personal poem here. The rhymes youve chosen were skillfully dealt with and you got so many thoughts across. It was such a powerful poem too, my favorite line would probably have to be
She says she loves me, yet she wants me dead.
You said so much in that one line, it simply spoke to me so clearly. You've written an excellent poem here, hard to say i'm at all surprised : )

This reminds me of when I used to be
having a bi-polar attack and it is indeed a very
lonely and unforgiving place. Anyway this was
a really good poem and I hope it helped you
expel the demons that were afflicting you.
Thanks for sharing this with us your strength
is an inspiration to many.
