To the beautiful souls

We lose every 40 seconds

I understand

The daily struggle of battles fought

Some won while most end in tears and blood

The chaos that is your mind

The abyss that holds the soul hostage

The fear, the running, the hurt, the emptiness

Holding back tears while with the masses

Have you ever tried to contain your mind?

That untamable beast

Knocking at doors it shouldn’t

Remembering things you wish would just dissapear

Fearing what will lead you to

The thing you dread most or are desperately in need of

Have you ever had to blast the music loud all night

Numb everything

Occupy the mind

Distract the monsters

Hold back the demons

The abyss down below

Drown them all out

Eyes closed, fear on your lips

Tears filling up

Afraid

So very afraid

If I let them out, all my shadows

They will kill me

Have you ever had that sinking feeling in your gut

Premonition of dark times

Slowly rolling in

Darkness from the abyss

Clawing it’s way up

it’ll hit you like a hurricane

Drown you in you

As fear hangs you by the neck

Never show it

They won’t understand

How could they comprehend

The soul crushing heaviness that bubbles within

How could they understand

The demons that tear me apart every night

The chaos that is me

So you isolate medicate cut

Anything to quiet the multitude of screaming demons

Deal in the worst ways possible

Let it kill you and tear you apart

Let it torture you soul in the depths of the abyss

Over and over till death do you part
