Member Poem

Do not come to this place.
The place where
The darkness is blinding and
The silence deafening.

The place where
So much pain resides
That the tears flow
As wild as the Nile.

The place that is full of
Doors and windows but
You cannot escape. Instead, you drown
In the tears without a fight.

The place where you feel so
Lonely that silent darkness
Is your best friend and it
Holds you there with false security.

The place where your only comfort
Is the fact that you
Can no longer feel.
Your emotions numb from neglect.

There are no roads or maps
To lead you to this place.
You simply close your eyes
And look inside your own mind.
