The darkness has seeped into my soul
My heart isn’t cold yet, but it’s full of darkness, anger, and rage.
Is peace near?
Am I the one holding myself back from reaching enlightenment of happiness?
I keep these thoughts to myself.
As the people around me will never understand
Or could they? But will they judge? Talk about my downfall to uplift their own demons?
These are the questions that run through my mind and keep me from opening-up
I’m alone with these thoughts.
Unpacking what depression and anxiety that I can
I use to paint, but it’s not the same.
I’ve been told how bad they are that the one thing I used for therapy I no longer can
Why? Because everyone in my “circle” has only put my work down
I’m hurt but, I will be damn if I’m broken.
Wish we never did this...
