Journey Through the Darkness

Oh, cruel thoughts that plague my troubled mind

Whispering lies and urging me to die

Why must you be so unrelenting, unkind?

Pushing me closer to the edge, oh why?

-

I hear your voice, a constant, bitter taunt

Telling me I am worthless and alone

My heart grows heavy, my spirit grows gaunt

As your words cut deep and strip me to the bone

-

But wait, is this truly my only fate?

To succumb to these dark and twisted lies

Or can I rise above and find my strength

To silence your deceit and say goodbye?

-

For I am more than just my darkest thoughts

And I will not let you dictate my life's plot.
