The Truth of The Darkened Matter

shawna toal 1991 (redding)



I hope your able to realize and believe
That lately ive been brutally open
About the darkened sick and twisted
Everything burning within me
Because my strength is depleting.
My soul feels hallow.
Constantly having a hard time breathing.
My forced smile can be deceiving.
But isnt that exactly what I'm wanting?
Wanting to distract you all from what really is?
Diverting attention.
On hers or onto his...
You will here from me no sympathy cry
You won't here me make empty threats in regards to my wanting to die.
Can you feel my calmness, my inability to scream or cry?
It honestly frightens me simply because I have no fucking idea why.
Its not just the drugs.
Its deeper.
It comes from the many scars gained from years barely survived.
Despite all this
To live, to grow and be happy...
For this i still so ignorantly strive.
