#inspiration #darkness #struggle

In the deep chasm of the heart,
Lies a darkness within,
Struggling in its cage,
Howling to be released,
Reaching out through it's gaps,
Brushing its hand at the walls of your heart,
Sometimes pounding at it,
Hearing the words from outside,
Those words that sends it scrambling at the bottom of your heart,
The familiarity of it,
That irritating voice,
That presence,
That rage building up after all these months,
The pretending that it isn't happening at all,
Not giving much attention to the main event,
Trying to take the words in a slight and less caring manner,
But the pain is still there,
It is as deep as a valley,
And the purity of the waters,
Was blocked by the people who pulls you down in life,
Contaminating it with their words,
Their actions,
Their disturbances,
The water growing murky and thicker,
An empty feeling on the other side,
As dry as bone and empty as nothing,
Two sides clashing with one another,
And the darkness,
Is the center of it all,
Struggling on which to break,
The cage,
The dam,
The freedom,
The emptiness,
Unable to take it anymore,
With it's eyes closed,
The darkness moved around,
Screaming,
Until it penetrates something,
In which,
As it opens it's eyes,
It will be the one thing that will determine your life's journey.
