A serene calmness
Embraces the demons that need to play
Depths of depression
At times
Feel like it will never go away
The ache that shatters
Barriers that helped protect
The constant beating
Of the rapidness of a pounding heart
Doubt seeps in
In waves that ebb like a lulling sway
Tearing the undiscerned feelings
Break away
Piece by piece
Taking what was once strong
Observe it as it falls a part
Shattering to smithereens
Where happiness once belongs
Black ink streams to swirl
The subconscious
Confusion appears to wallow
And elevate the illusion
Tendrils wrap around
Lies are easier to swallow
Versus the painful truth
