Black Chaos
The black chaos
Drips on the page
Nightmares live in
Reality –
I release the
Fears through my pen
They never leave
But they have lost
Their hold on me –
A past mended
With ink and words –
With my poems
I capture it
My depression –
A reminder
Of what I was
When black chaos
Consumed my soul
