055. As My Thoughts Drift Slowly In Sleep Poem by Jaden Knight

I sense myself being carried
to the sound of whispering voices
but I don’t understand what they say
I thought it was all a dream
I didn’t realize it was all reality

Sudden pain wakes me
forcing my eyes open
the sound of running feet
I feel the cold stone on my back
blood seeping through the wound in my ribs

Not tied by ropes
but pinned by weakness
the chain of depression you made
won’t drag me down
but I cannot fight it
you stuck the knife in too deep

Why do I have to die like this
is this my punishment for being me
you know I can’t change
even if I no longer live

Am I just another victim
of your self pity
I try to rise
but the red mist takes
over numbing my senses
as I fall back into darkness
