Inside

It's been so long since i sat with the darkness, I almost forgot what it was like

It spews hatred and malice

Forces it's way into even the tiniest of cracks

Once there expanding and tearing down your walls

The darkness knows no bounds

I smile a little when I think of all the time me and the shadows have danced

Inseparable we are

I sway to the left, avoid debris falling

She pulls me to the right to avoid the brightness of the light

And so we are,

We exist in this dance until i can find a new partner

Someone to take place of the creature in my life

Whether it be a family member, doctor

For many people its an addiction of sorts

I sit in my chair

Darkness surrounding me

Pestering me to make my next move in the game we play

I protect my queen and rook

To me they are invaluable

My family,

They love me so

They watch and cheer me on as the war of wits is waged

Praying I win, I will for now though

I'll defeat this creature just in time for another to bring its ugly head into the game

I will be a new kind of champion

My cheerleaders will be praised for being by my side

Somehow thtthis illness will prevail though, live to fight again........i'll be
