Drunk with Fear

by Samantha - Scorpio

The day fades with each closing night
Passing minute by minute into lost closures
And unrequited love
I seemed closed off from the rest of the world
Cut off from the smiles and laughter
As though I were a retired clown
Left with only rushing water
Draining from my eyes

Sometimes I think this isn't real
Caught up in a dream world
Where only lies and betrayals
Are the actual truths
Confusing, I know
Yet it all seems to make sense from within
My own darkness

Depressions seeps from every pore
As I drink it up
Though it were alcohol
Posion to my blood
Yet life to my already dead body
Shall I even dare to awake the sleeping death 
Hung lifelessly around my now frail heart?

Reason for writing:

    Depression.. Confusion
