Dark Nights

This thick fog of despair

It clings to me, it's in my hair

Smelling of sadness, I creep along

Hating myself for being so wrong.

The world obscured by my depression

Appears grey and unkind and on a mission

To thwart me every step of the way

To make a fool of me for anything I say

I fail against every imagined slight

I turn my face away from the good light

Darkness is my sole bed partner now

She drinks my tears and wets my brow

She brings her friends anger and resentment

Together they whisper to me in contentment

Filling my head with miserable things

Broken dreams and broken wings

Leave me alone accursed world

Can't you see me within myself entwirled

Till something resembling positivity returns

Let all goodness and hope burn.
