Blackness



Slowly Sufficating underneath
Blackness hugs me like an old friend
I fight it but i wont be able to for long
I forgot just how hard it was
to smile
to breathe
to live
I hurt so, so much
Fighting was effortless
Now its draining
Im exhausted all the time
I feel like i could sleep forever
Everything hurts, like i was beaten to a pulp
Maybe i was,
mentally turns into physically
I keep fighting
So the blackness does'nt suficate me.
