Darkness Of Reality Poem by Ryan T. Ventresco

This downward spiral comes silent
Like the darkness taking over the light
Knowing that it's coming for you
I will now cower away

The pressure lifts from my shoulders
To ultimately be placed right back
I may be skin and bones
But my mind holds the weight of the universe

Overthinking comes naturally
Ulcers come and go like reality t.v.
No tivo just infomercials on slow mo
When will it all just press play

Undoubtfully the static appears
Making me focus on it's mesmer
I start to see the hidden message
Again my screen dulls blank

Another path not seen
Is it my eyes decieving
Or do I just not wanna know
I'll leave that what if for you!
