The Darkness

By: Kena'i Hollingsworth

Grab, Choke, Squeeze Suck the life out of me. Suffocate Me. Don't see it as a homicide but as a sacrifice for the greater good.

I will drown in the pacific ocean. Swallow the waters of the worlds saltiest seas. Just for the familiar burn.

People tell me to remember the semicolon. It stands for continuation. But in these days my life is like a period.

You try to save me but I push you away. I'm scared to break you. Scared to burn you. I refuse to be responsible for the destruction of another person.

I am a ticking time bomb I can't control the urges! And the darkness. Oh God the darkness!

So I cut a smile in my arm and watched my laughter pour out in red.

You scream I LOVE YOU! and it gives me the Strength to let you in.
