Day 182 – Expired – Whispered Words

The darkness,

is ripping at me,

clawing at me,

dragging me in,

taking my sin,

my life’s no longer mine,

can’t you hear me crying,

oh please,

why won’t you let me die,

oh please,

why won’t you let me die,

the darkness,

is circling me,

tearing at me,

keeping me in,

stripping my sin,

my life was never mine,

GOD,

can’t you hear me crying,

oh please,

why won’t you let me die,

oh please,

why won’t you let me die.

        Ok so it’s coming in a bit late, but it was never out of my mind. Thanks a ton for helping me break my block.

        Wow, that was amazing, brilliantly written, I felt so much, as a human, more as a father. Well done, writers block my arse, there’s no blocks there 👍 You we’re looking for inspiration was all.

        I know exactly what you mean. As individuals we can tolerate a whole lot of rubbish, but as parents it’s just not possible to ignore. I have had too many thoughts in my head and no time to write. Your story prompted me to pick up the pen despite it all 😊
