A poem I wrote when I was really depressed, as usual, lol. I thought it was good enough to use as my app.
In the darkness of my mind it calls
Waiting, wanting, trying to consume me
What is this thing that stalks me?
What is it that infests my every thought?
It calls to me again, from the shadows
Waiting, watching for me to make a mistake
Why do I resist, fight for my very soul?
What is it that causes me to resist?
There it is again, I cannot escape
Waiting, desiring a moment of weakness
Why does it want my very essence?
What is this thing that haunts me?
I try to run it follows, I try to hide it is waiting for me.
Waiting, exasperating every effort to claim me.
What is it that makes this thing stay?
What can I do to escape?
I have reached the end.
I have no escape.
Can this be the end, can it finally be over?
Can I finally rest from this endless struggle?
As it nears I can see it more clearly.
I finally see it, and I cannot bear what I see.
How can this be it?
How can it be that it has been myself all along?
