~ Why? ~

Written by Debbie


The darkness engulfs me
So familiar, yet so hard to name.
I'm falling, no way to help myself.
I can't explain
So much pain, chocking me
So lonely for no reason that I can see
Why is this happening again?
I've come so far only to go back to where I began
The darkness slowly surrounds
blocking every sound
except the little girl's voice in my head
What does she say? Nothing that's written or read
She just screams with a silent cry
I'm just waiting here to die.
