My heart is aching within my chest

Never giving me a moment’s rest,

There’s something wrong inside of me,

There’s nothing wrong except for me…

 

Everything’s good, everything’s fine,

Everything is great except for my mind,

My life’s getting better but I’m getting worse

And I’m getting so sick of this fucking curse…

 

My limbs are starting to feel limp and dead,

As I try to ignore the voices in my head.

I know I shouldn’t be feeling this way,

Everything is great, why aren’t I okay?

 

I don’t know what is wrong with me

And my persistently depressive insanity,

My heart feels like a flickering light

But now I have a reason to try and fight.

 

You turned Blue months into mere minutes

And I don’t quite know how you did it,

But I believe that if not for you

I’d still be drowning in the Blue.

 

You make me wish I was completely okay

And maybe I will be, somewhere, someday

But for now I fight my darkness inside,

Fight my desires of razors and cyanide.

 

Before now I was slowly losing the fight

But you’ve helped me become semi-alright,

Bringing White to my heart of Black,

Giving me the strength to fight back.

 

You’ve fixed the broken, revived the dead,

You’ve almost cured the disease in my head,

You’ve given me a way to change my perspective,

You’ve given me more than enough reason to live.

 

It may be true that every now and again

I am consumed by Black and Blue pain

But now I don’t always wish to die,

Now “I’m okay” is rarely just a lie.

Please do not comment unless you have read the whole poem, and pay attention to how the tone changes. This is a piece of art, please treat it as such and do not ask if I'm okay or anything that can be answered by reading my poetry.
Thankyou, and sorry for sounding like an ass, I'm just sick of people I don't know asking if I'm ok.

wonderful poem! I only found one weak passage. It wasn't so bad, just not as strong as the others.
I can tell this one took a lot of effort and time. I enjoyed reading it! :)
