*~Back To Being~*

While I sit in this dark corner
Silently I weep.
Within the obscurity of the shadows
Within the silence of the deep.

Indistinct voices echo around me
Whispering unkind words and phrases
The world appears to be against me
And all I see are unknown faces.

As immense burdens I cannot bear
Fall heavily upon my shoulders,
Intense emotions I cannot withstand
Crush me like heavy boulders.

Saddened by the gloomy memories
That have caused me so much pain,
I strive for the strength I no longer have
And for the courage I've yet to regain.

I retreat deep into my subconscious
Ignoring this forlorn feeling
Inexistence is imminent now
But I want to go back to being.
