Innocent, young and untainted So blind and vulnerable A life that began to shine so bright Nothing detectable Thought I’d found all of the answers Could I have been more wrong When my world began to crumble Should have known it all along that my end was coming soon Betrayed, abandoned, pushed away and replaced - forgotten Walking ‘round in circles into the winds of descension Playing your words through my head over and over again - hollow Did I give too much or not enough, who fucking knows One by one they all disappeared, vanished from my life Left alone with the worsening state of my confused, angry mind Isolating myself from all that surround, zero trust Forced daily interaction, can’t pretend that I’m not lost How could I have seen it coming if I know not what went wrong No warning signs of any kind, no omen dawned How I made it through one single day in this place I’ll never know Subliminal ridicule and torture for years I would soon undergo Gaping wound, a fraction remaining Of who I used to be All that I had, all that defined me No longer can be seen Overnight, the dramatic departure The light that faded away Internally evaporating Nothing can I say as I watch and bleed The cycle of darkness had only begun to take hold of my life A pattern that started with a devastating blow that would forever change me inside There’s nothing that could have prepared me for what my life would soon become The door is open now for good, the damage has been done Darkness will always re-manifest, taking on new forms As soon as you think it’s gone for good, the black cloud is reborn Forever I’m followed by this recurring theme, the burden un-dismissed The cycle of darkness to which I belong will never cease to exist Therapy was not the answer I never would have seen A diagnosis Is not what I did need So I decided I would continue on my own Knowing not All that would follow Follow I may not find closure But maybe clarity The time is now And this is where I’ll be
