Blackness Poem by Brandy Diaz

They feel like their life is going down hill.
Each day they give a piece of themselves away.
Each day their smiles become less frequent.
And their laughs are shorter in length.
Instead of the light at the end, they see a dark pool of black.
Scars reoccuring.
Nighmares seeking them out as they sleep.
They can't escape their miserable pattern.
The darkness is luring.
It sucks them in like a black hole.
Why fight it when they can just give up, and be covered in black silk.
Smooth yet suffocating.
