Yesterday I was reading through some of Brittany’s creative writing and I came across one that described her thoughts the best. As promised, here’s another dark poem. It’s a tough one to read through but it’s her reality.

As I sit alone inside my head

So many thoughts in which I dread

It’s hard for me to take control

Leaving just my empty soul

My feelings I keep all to myself

I know it’s not good for my mental health

Why do I continue fighting to pull through

Years of recalling a life I once knew

I am so broken, shattered like glass

So desperately wanting to relive my past

Am I worth the battle, worth the fight

Or will this time be the night

Why do I feel so much confusion

I want to live but life’s an illusion

People laughing, having a great time

Do they end their night with dark thoughts like mine

I’ll keep trying to survive

For all I want is to feel alive
