The Destroyer

Mental health awareness is this week! I know a lot of people suffer with many things like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder- to name a few. It’s so important that we take a few minutes to think about those who are going through a rough time, and try to understand what they are going through. Below is a poem I wrote that I'd like to share with you. Let’s spread some love and cheer this week and for the weeks to come! xoxo

The Destroyer

I come as a thief in the night to seek and destroy I do not care if you are a mother, father, girl, or a boy I will lurk in your mind like a growing disease And stick on your body, like a dog who has tiny fleas

I will hunt you, I will steal you, and I will tear you apart I will leave darkness inside your panic filled heart

I am vicious like a hurricane’s wind and the rain. I will spew out torment and unimaginable pain. Not only on you, but the ones who love you best. I will laugh to their face and at all the rest.

I will throw you into a raging inferno, Where you will not be able to sleep. I will make it so all you do is sit in the deep dark corner and weep.

I will throw up walls of fire, to those who seek to desire. I will consume your body with medication And strike you without any limitation.

I will bring you down to your knees. I will make you suffer and say please.

I am like a vulture in the sweltering desert sand, I will make you follow each and every one of my commands. I will wait for you by the uncanny valley. As you play in the rain with your friends and your family.

I will ooze my way into your soul, Until the point where you feel you have no control.

I wander and I wait under the bright starry sky, I will even make you think at times you can fly.

I will make you feel worthless, like nothing is true. Even when you turn around I will still be behind you.

I see into your mind, your body, and your soul. Your emotions I will never let you control.

I will creep on you like a growing disease, Until you need drugs and alcohol to put your mind at ease.

I will send hallucinations to your brain. Do not worry, you will never be the same.

I will send you a friend, sometimes even two. I will make the world ask what is wrong with you.

Yes I am bipolar, anxiety, schizophrenia, and depression. I will pour unto you all my aggression.

To those who read this and weep, I will never ever let you sleep.
