Story Notes: This is pretty recent. It's also pretty much raw feelings. I suffer from horrible depression and anxiety. It keeps me up at night.

The dark seeps through

It pierces the flesh

Settles deep inside my mind

It tells me horrors

And lies and truth

All designed to force surrender

And deep inside

This traitorous brain

The thoughts are turning darker still

My very skin crawls with hate

For this pitiful creature I’ve become

Everything but the darkness is gone

The night  

Will soon be nothing more than a faded dream

Another day lived in groggy anxiety

Sleep would help tomorrow go smoother

But sleep will not come

Can’t sleep in the light, can’t sleep in the dark
