Inside the dark room
Inside my head
In this dark room I fear
As I long into nothing
What are they thinking of me?
I cannot ask, they are nowhere near
/
The long journey round my thoughts
Spiralling in and out of the past
The anxiety ripples through
Overwhelming and so vast
/
What is the root of this?
A moment of recklessness
Or an embedded habit?
Endless cycle of doubt
/
Is this the end?
Of what I thought I knew
What is the plan now?
Do I have the energy to defend?
/
Will they still be there for me?
Now I have revealed another side
That hasn’t seen the light of day before
The side that has been told to abide
/
Then the moment comes
A sign of life appears
That pulls me from dormant state
To face everything now on my plate

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
