“into the night

I collapse into the night
under the pressure
of my own unhappiness
overthinking
pushing myself further
into the darkest corners
of my own existence

I've been smiling
in an attempt to avoid their concern
while trying to learn
to navigate through the chaos
that plagues my life

though genuine laughter
is what I've been after
I've been unable to find it
and so I resort to a cheerfulness
that isn't real
the type of joy
I only wish to feel

there is sadness all around us
it follows and it swallows all of us up
us being the people like me

dreading tomorrow and the sorrows
that live within the minutes
of every passing moment

this has become my life
this life of someone who
in a room filled with others
still feels lonely”
― R.H. Sin, Whiskey Words & a Shovel III

I'm blessed to have found you
in this lifetime as well as any other

I love you”

there's not enough time
to find all the things you want
but I do hope that you reach
all the things your heart deserves”

“in the dark

I'm hiding behind this smile
and lately
chaos has found its way
into my heart
there's a shade of gray
that covers my day to day
and fills me with the type
of sadness
difficult to define with words

the darkness hovers over me
like vultures awaiting supper
ever so patiently
as life takes a toll on my soul

nearly out of my mind
and out of control
searching for myself
in mirrors
yet all I see
is a face that I don't know

who am I
and if I were to lose
this fight
where in the hell
would I go”

“my own stranger

broken mirrors
keepers of my reflection
shards of glass
on the bathroom floor

my own self

look like those of a stranger

as my confusion
stares back at me
trying to make sense of it all

I am a stranger to myself”

whatever innocence she had left
between the nights she couldn’t remember
and the things she wished to forget

by the events
that stripped away the peace from her soul”
