I can't get out of bed

I can't face the day

I can't do anything

I just want to stay in this dark place

Where I can be alone

And no one can judge me

I'm so tired of being happy

I'm so tired of being strong

I just want to give up

And let the darkness take me

I'm so tired of fighting

I'm so tired of pretending

I just want to give up

And let the darkness consume me

This piece tries to reanimate a dark event of life. Like someone giving up in life. The end might lead to suicide. My own token of advice is, cheer up, jerk back to life. Tough time never last but tough people do. May you find solace anywhere you are.

Hi Jackweb!

This is something i threw together at a funeral of a dear friend who had ended her life by means of suicide. Although i am no stranger to the darkness, i won't let it win. This is simply a dark poem i wrote for her.
