Darkness Poem by Peri Morgan

The darkness washes over me,
leaving me lost in insanity,
alas I feel depression is here,
bringing to the surface all that I fear,
cold evil thoughts rise up through my mind,
who I once was so hard to find,
anger and hate, thoughts of death,
leaving me trembling a nervous wreck,
I fought all my life to be the best I can,
I'll be damned if I let this change who I am,
I'll find my way to the top,
nothing you say will make me stop,
I will beat this all by myself,
I know I can do this without any help,
to find the cause of all my problems,
I know it's something long forgotten,
hidden demons trying to get out,
but no matter how load they scream and shout,
they will not win,
I will never give in,
I am me, and, I can beat anything!
