I Give Up Poem by Nightshade Starlight

There's something hovering over the horizon.
It's coming closer every second,
Coming nearer every day that I'm here.
I don't know what it is, but I can feel a sense of dread.
Its there when I wake and it's there when I sleep.

My heart is breaking open,
I feel so numb and cold that whatever I do
It does not quench a fire that burns within me.
The fire is slowly dying, being put out
And when a fire dies it does not return without help.

I feel as if It's coming together,
Piece by piece and I feel as if my pieces are shattering,
Breaking apart and becoming unreparable.
I was who I use to be, now a ghost
Lost in dreams and shying away from reality.

Even as the tears come, it hurts to open my eyes.
It hurts to know and feel as if its coming down.
My walls I made up, my shell crumbling,
It's all leading up to something thats closer now
Almost so that I can touch it.

So I feel hollow and emotionless.
I lift my hands to the sky as tears run down.
Words that I have wanted to speak for so long,
Are emerging and giving me a scream.
I take a deep breath and say to my very being.

I GIVE UP!
