Covers

Kinda been letting my OCD get the better of me this week. But I'm not letting myself feel ashamed this time. I hope this will remind others to let themselves off the hook too.

Alone...Alone

I know a place in the woods,

that cries and aches from the surrounding trees.

No one is there to care...but me,

I am the only one there.

All alone in the dark, beneath the collapsing trees.

I shall stay alone in the forest, beneath the enormous trees...

Hoping that someday someone will decide to join me.

Hope in Darkness

Deep inside, where no light reflects, but can only be produced from within,

Deep inside, beyond the pain, beyond what angers, beyond the betrayal, deep within its chambers, 

Deep inside, something shimmers, something quivers, something longing to get out. 

Deep inside, feel its heat. Let it spread, let it fill the cracks, mend the breaks and sooth the aches. 

Deep inside, is such a small light, but its powers are immense. 

Deep inside It glimmers and pain begins to lessen.

Deep inside it glows, making pride grow.

Deep inside it shines and loss is put to rest.

Deep inside, beneath the pieces, beneath the struggle, a faint light is urging the thrum to continue, 

Deep inside it is insisting the mangled form to beat, even when all you can see is darkness.

Deep inside, is why you will make it, 

Deep inside, this I know for sure, because...

Deep inside a broken heart lies a bit of hope.

Drowning

Confusion, pain, despair, yearning. 

Mess, so much mess to clean up.

Wanting what I can't have, ignoring life rafts waiting for a ship heading in the wrong direction.

This is drowning.

Take a breath. You're strong enough to find the shore.
