The void whispered back

I found comfort in the quiet

I found peace in the black

I let it swallow me

I let it become my home

But even as I was sleeping

I felt so alone

Then one day

Asleep in my cage

I heard a voice

From a boy about my age

And for the first time in years

I opened my eyes

And for the first time in a while

Someone heard my cries

I stepped back out

Into the light

His arm caught me

I had won my fight

Even though the darkness

Seems to be the only way

There’s something sweet

“CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT - FIGHT IT AND I WILL SUE YOU”, “GIVE IT YOUR BEST EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF COME NIGHTFALL.”, WRDSMITH and others.

Above the spread

Float the souls

Of the dead

And when I lie

Down in my bed

They venture there

In a silent tread

They whisper my name

So softly said

Keeping me awake

Filling with dread

Are they ghosts after all

Or Payment for bloodshed

For these ghosts share a feature
