The darkness overwhelms me.
I live in yesterday's world.
Each yesterday is darker than the
one before. Seeing a sad black
life crossing out the days on the
calendar, one at a time.

Looking back, I cannot see past
the black shadow that engulfs me.
My life is spent trying to retrieve
yesterday.....I realize that it will
never come to pass, backwards I'm
wanting to retrieve the yesterday.
I realize that it will never come
to pass.

Life seems crushing the more I
try to continue. The weight on
my back is unbearable. No one is
there to comfort me. Peeking at
the calendar one last time, I
can stand the pressure of life
no longer.

I give up! My life is a tragedy, a
mistake. What I do best is venting
in the name of blood. After painting
my wrists scarlet I feel great relief,
and now I am ready for another
rusty day.

To All The Poets
"I appreciate you commenting on my poems. I just wanted to say that it is a bit hard for me to comment on everyone's poems. I don't have complete access to the internet. My cousin is going to college online. That takes up a lot of my time to respond to you all. I do get a break every now and then. It may be short lived, but I do my best to reply. Please except my apology. I will comment the best I can in the time frame I have open. Please"
