[feedback requested] Poem for Chester

Something deep inside of me

Has risen out of the dirt

Something dark inside of me

Has broken through the hurt

 

I try to fight, I only fall

The darkness pulling in

I try to scream, I try to talk

The pain is worsening

 

This moment of Clarity

This instance of choice

I cannot make sense of it

I cannot give it a voice

 

My mind is cold, my heart is numb

Pain has beaten me, I'm under its thumb

 

I cannot fight against it more

No matter what they shout

They say I shouldn't do it

The pull of the easy way out
