Array ( [sid] => 103860 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => unknown problem [time] => 2005-08-18 18:22:35 [hometext] => it sucks i feel miserable [bodytext] => All alone

Every time I close my eyes
All I see is my demise
A place of darkness and torment
A crimson filled moment

Light flickers above my tormented body
My shadow laughs at my worry
I am in a room of whispers and fear
I am not afraid but I still shed a tear

I look up and wonder why
Why I fail and yet I try
Falling slowly into despair
I cry for help but they do not care

My room is closing on me
But no one can see
As the walls come closer and closer
I hear a distorted figure’s laughter

My lungs tightens my breath shortens
My heart shrinks and my life rottens
My heart beats like the sound of thunder
I sit back and wonder

I’m I asleep no it cannot be
Am I depressed no this isn’t me
Is my problem truly unknown
No this is what I feel when I’m alone

unknown problem

All alone

Every time I close my eyes
All I see is my demise
A place of darkness and torment
A crimson filled moment

Light flickers above my tormented body
My shadow laughs at my worry
I am in a room of whispers and fear
I am not afraid but I still shed a tear

I look up and wonder why
Why I fail and yet I try
Falling slowly into despair
I cry for help but they do not care

My room is closing on me
But no one can see
As the walls come closer and closer
I hear a distorted figure’s laughter

My lungs tightens my breath shortens
My heart shrinks and my life rottens
My heart beats like the sound of thunder
I sit back and wonder

I’m I asleep no it cannot be
Am I depressed no this isn’t me
Is my problem truly unknown
No this is what I feel when I’m alone

You do dark very well. I must say I do prefer your brighter writes. I write dark occasionally, but not often. You are a tremendous talent as you can do many venues. Keep penning my friend.
