My Darkest Days
By Ash Sixx •
I fall down this
never ending abyss of
sadness and depression,
falling farther and farther
until the darkness
swallows me whole.
I cope with bad
habits; smoking
drinking, cutting. It
never helps, only
temporarily eases
the cold hard pain.
My meds don't help,
I'm losing my friends,
my grades are slipping.
Everything good I've built
in my life is now
crumbling to pieces.
But what am I to
do? All I can do is
sit back and ride
it out, hoping that
in the end everything
will all be okay.
But I'm not okay.
I haven't been for
quite a long time.
I hide my hurt
behind a mask
of false smiles.
The only pleasure
I gain is from
self-destructive behavior
or throwing myself at
those who will
only use me.
So in these darkest
days of mine I sit
and wonder, who
would ever want
a sad and lonely
life like mine?
