I scream
the familiar words
taste bitter in my
mouth as I try to
remember what they mean
try to remember why
I chose those words
to begin with
why I scream
'I can't see!' each
and every time I fall
down into that black
endless hole gripping
onto the edge with panic
written all over my feature's
as I try not to get swallowed
by the numbness
of my actions and
the blinding darkness
of my mind
this must be why I scream
'I can't see!' because
I can't see blinded by the
darkness from the black
hole that my mind is
as it drags me in
deeper each time I let go
of the edge slipping
just a bit further not able
to keep my head above
drowning in the darkness
that must be why I can't see.
