While the world sleeps I lie here awake. Running through my head from all the demons I make. Is this all real? can life be this way?. So cruel and unrelenting day to day. They say cry out to God.. well I've done it a million times, still nothing changes, the same old rhyme. I want to ascend away from this life, to be at peace if only for a night. Let my mind sleep from all the memories of pain. The anguish I've felt the ones that have pushed me to insane. I'm stuck in this room, alone in my thoughts. The clock is ticking on the wall begging me to stop. My soul tormented by the ghost of my past. I feel it coming in the distance, my mind starts to bend, begging it to stop, so it won't crack. Stop these thoughts from escaping my mind. Store them in a dark place were no one will find. I've come to not feel anymore, to care anymore, to love anymore. What a cold world and life of a cruel existence. To just be. This is no way to live. There has to be something, something inside. Something, anything to make me feel alive. I reach into the dark places of my heart. Searching for something to make me feel again, to love again, to feel that spark. I am left with empty bloody hands and drawn to my knees, I have failed to find, to find a reason to be. Oh cold world! what have you done? to this beautiful boy who once was your son. Now an empty shell, only a whisper in hell. The talk on a few lips, the fading memory and to some only a clitch. In the minds of a few who I barely knew. Please Wait!! Don't just walk passed, can't you see the pain in my eyes and the demons on my back, with their heads held down they just say hi, and with a passing smile, they walk on by. No one to reach in and pull me from this hell, I sink deeper into despair and I think to myself, this must be farewell. As I curl up all alone in the dark. I wait, I wait to feel again, to care again, to love again, to feel that spark.

This article is one that is seeking help. I sense that this person have lost hope. Writer please remember when our Saviour
forgives he sends the sins into the sea of forgetfulness. Please accept forgiveness and receive life by faith through Jesus Christ. If you have a physical ailment, draw on the peace of God so that he can give you his peace and comfort. Remember he said "My peace I give unto you not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John14:27 I hope you will arise!

You have vividly expressed the dark depression of the soul. If true to you, remember that HE is only a breath away!!

You have skilfully written a creative piece here. I could feel, empathise with that sense of wanting to stop or put an end to the misery. The ending finished it off with a solution to end the character's despair, "I want to love again, I want that 'spark' again...'

Good job! Blessings!

Thank you!
