One dark poem, twenty-threedark photographs.
7
Here we go again, a downward spiral
Who am I to fight the gravity
9
Cannot comprehend, you're in denial
I am at loss with my sanity
1 1
Put my foot down, my final stand
Footing lost on a sloping plane
1 3
Nothing to stop me from falling
Nothing left for me to gain
1 5
The world is only an illusion
It still is much too real for me
1 7
Darkest days are no delusion
Just dark without a light to see
1 9
Darkest days - Every one the same
Darkest days - The survival game
21
Routines that give me pressure
Routines that cause me pain
23
Safety built in between them
The insurance to keep me sane
25
Contradiction, science fiction
Facts for my tortured mind
27
Whose life it is I am living
Am I not one of the kind
29
Picturing a different world
Drowning myself to the yellow sea
31
When thoughts can no longer bear
A monster that used to be me
33
The world is only an illusion
It still is much too real for me
35
Darkest days are no delusion
Just dark without a light to see
37
Darkest days - Every one the same
Darkest days - The survival game
39
Mountains of false hopes
Climbed them in the hope of
understanding
41
Oceans filled with liquid dreams
Sailed them in fear of a new awakening
43
And then came the morning
Falling down all over again
45
Sense of purpose yet to be found
Hammers at work in my brain
47
Counting seconds down to nothing
How much more I can endure
49
Nothing really matters anymore
Death is the only cure
51
Darkest days
Darkest days
Darkest days
Darkest days
53
But there is always hope.
