The Darkness

It did not take long
to realise I was unwell,

the ideas in my head
would be impossible to sell.

Exhilarated for
short periods of time

before feeling like
the victim of a grievous crime.

The darkness
now engulfs my waking hours

but it is night-time
that it unleashes all its powers.

Emptying any positivity
from inside my head

leaving me wondering
would I be better off dead.
