Losing Yourself

Dakota Young

Denial: Just ignore the silence Ignore the demons and their violence Just shove it far from your mind Be blind and deny just so you don’t have to die

Anger: Blame the world Yes that’s it with fists curled Blame him and blame her But don’t look within or you’ll find where the problems always been

Bargaining: They won’t stop no matter how you beg and plead As your world shatters maybe you can make a trade, your life and soul for a one-way ticket out of this hell hole

Depression: You can call it what you want but it’s always been the same A way for your demons to flaunt that they have control now As you look for and escape The ideas begin to take shape

Acceptance: Your demons have now won. Don’t worry it’s almost over. Soon you’ll be done. The cold steel presses to your chest. You are filled with peace. As your last breaths cease.
