Open wounds
It's like the wounds will never heal
Because I won't allow them to.
Every little while I seem to go back to that place I've tried so hard to escape from.
The same darkness creeps upon me at my weakest moments.
I try.
I try so hard to not surrender my tiny bit of light.
But I know I'm not strong enough.
It feels like I'm drowning again.
Down to the shadows where it's so hard to see,
To feel,
To breathe.
I try to remember good and the magical
But sometimes it wins.
And I'm stuck again.
Unable to escape.
Unable to breathe.
