Don't Let It Slip

Do you ever feel alone, or overwhelmingly sad.

Only accompenied by your demons, the ones you cry over at night. 

Voices in your head, maybe a slight pounding. 

Afraid one day you might not catch yourself from falling into the darkest pit of your thoughts. A Tartarus in your mind.

Drowning in anxeity and paranoia, losing the ability to sleep, in fear you'll have another nightmare.

What led you to this, what released these monsters? The so called "journeys" books and other people have taken you on, just messes with your mind.

It shows you that you are worthless, useless, and alone. But don't let it slip, we wouldn't want others to know your dark secret.

A few of my friends are going through some things right now, and they've told me enough to where I was inspired to write this poem. This is my way of silently saying it will all be alright.
