A Darkness within us

A Darkness within us

In the deepest,
Darkest,
Dankness,
At the back of our mind.
Everyone has a second voice there.
Questions that we need answers too.
The ones we don’t want to find.
The place where things like depression,
Anxiety and P.T.S.D seem to reside.
Niggling away and knawing at you.
Sticking close to your side.
Some making people want to be a recluse.
Staying at home is where they hide.
It can make you feel like a downtrodden wretch.
Making it easier,
In your thoughts,
To commit to not staying alive.
It takes a real inner strength to defeat those demons.
So If you can,
Take each in your stride.
No one else feels what you feel.
As each of us are made different. 
All different out and inside.

When someone has feelings like this.
Their whole world is doom and gloom.
There’s not a smile,
Person or inanimate object,
That could help in any other of our worlds or our kingdom.
When light is absent from a life.
There’s not even a glimmer or slither,
Free to their eyes.
Black is all they see.
No whites,
Or even colours that let your temperatures cool,
Not rise.
Although to the world you feel cold,
Due to mental health,
In stealth disguise.

Despair.
An oblique situation.
Like when your fingers,
Your life slips through.
Everything from a clouded,
Pessimistic and ill judged point of view.
A judgement gone wrong.
Anguish,
Dejection and the feeling you can’t do anything right,
No matter what you do.
To feel completely at loss.
Absent of any hope too.

There is hope on the horizon.
It’s there for anyone and every body. 
I know it can make you feel deserted and ‘On ones Pat Malone'.
Not wanting to socialise.
It can make you not even want to leave your home.  
Yet if you just try to make the best of things,
You’d realise that your life,
You actually own.
No point beating around the theoretical  Bush.
You just have to prune properly,
Whether semi or fully grown.
Smile,
Laugh and be happy.
Try not to moan and groan.
Others are there to help you.
I promise,
You’re not alone.

Rejoice in life.
Be thankful for what you DO have.
Scrub out the bad in your lives.
Concentrate on the good.
If you take all your strife.
Bury it under a brain paving slab.
Explore the world,
Further than your hives.
Remove your blinkers and your theoretical hood.
Let others help you with your problems.
Try to see the world differently,
With wide open eyes.
Do your best to fight your inner demons,
For the rest of your time spent on this planet.
To get you Feeling more Blessed, 
To simply feel more than alive.
Take the upwards spiral.
Don’t get to the point,
Where you completely nose dive!
