The voice beyond midnight.
An eternal black hole, so big, it's bigger than me.
It occupies more space than it should.
It is scary
It is powerful
It's like gravity pulling me towards it.
I can't sever the ties.
What will it make me think?
What will it make me do?
The soft whisper of venom in my ear,
'You are a bad person'
'You shouldn't be alive'
'You don't deserve the space you occupy'
'People are making fun of you.'
'You will never be loved.'
Part of me believes its lies.
Lost in the darkness, my only wish is
To be hugged
To be told it's not true
Tell me it's going to be ok even if I don't feel like it right now.
I no longer want to feed the darkness.

The declaration "I no longer want to feed the darkness" is a powerfully stated and highly self-aware breakaway that shows great strength of character.

A life-altering progression from despair to hope. Wonderful, valuable work.
