Hello Darkness My Old Friend

Posted on the 16 March 2016 by Rielouise @MarieLouiseNoonan

Fear feels like a rodent nibbling at the edges.  I cannot adequately convey just how terrified I am.I live my life alone. This may sound ever so slightly self indulgent and for that I apologize.Count your blessings, people say.You have your physical health. You do not live in a war zone.You are better off than ninety five per cent of the planet.You are surrounded by people who care about what happens to you.And I cannot argue with these people because they are right.Some even say that if I pushed myself I would have a lot to offer.I laugh in their faces.

I am on the edge of night and I don’t think anyone can save me.I am engulfed by darkness.I am about to step into the abyss.
