Dark Rage

Darkest moments,

Heaviest tides,

I feel like I

Can’t control the rage

That burns through me.

*

I’m scared, scarred and

So out of control

That not even me

Could take hold

Of the thoughts in me.

*

The only way to

Tame myself to

Stop feeling the

Pain in my head

Is through

*

Jabs on skin,

And Shallow cuts.

Always afraid to

Dive too deep

But just enough to

Feel the burning stings.

*

I wonder if

I’m the only one.

Honestly, it scares me

But more than that,

I’m scared if you’ll

Know the real me.
