Tonight, I would like to scream into the void.
I want to yell
until my head feels like it is going to explode,
and then yell some more.
I want to be swallowed
by that big black cavern of emptiness.
It would be a blessing
to let go
and allow the eternal darkness
to take control.
But I have too much to live for.
And this thing
that is trying to bring me down
won’t win.
I will not let this sin
take over me.
I can see that it just wants me
to give up
and cower away.
But I will stand tall
and stay strong.
I will find a way
to get along,
even if it kills me.
I am a glutton for punishment—
and living
is the worst of all.
