A Trip into the Darkness

A trip into the darkness.
A journey I've been on many times before...

But this time seems harder to resist giving in...

All the anger, sadness, pain and loss,
just adding to the darkness.
Feeding it.
Growing deeper and darker...
Making each step unbearable,
and every breath I take burn my lungs.

As tears fill my eyes,
it becomes even harder to fight,
and I can't help but think back to my friends and family,
the people who have kept me alive thus far...

No matter how hard my heart preaches to me that it would kill them if I gave it,
My mind overrides it,
saying that they would neither notice or care if I just disappeared...

So I finally let go...
Taking one last breath,
muttering my final good-bye,
And as I let that first blood red tear fall,
The darkness slowly begins to swallow me whole.
