Alone in the Dark

 I'm not as brave as you think I am 

It took me so long to get here

I still fall apart

I still break

Unbearably, painfully, alone in the dark

Scars cover me, seen and unseen

I pull the scabs, there uncomfortable on my skin

I reopen these wounds

Reliving the nightmares over and over

Like a walking disaster

I continue walking in the dark

Waiting to disappear 

Waiting to drown in this despair
