Miracle (a poem by me)
I know what it’s like to want to die
to lay down and want to say goodbye

to sleep for days because I’m so damn depressed
I know what it’s like to quiver in fear
to see a world that is ugly and unclear
I never thought I could...

SPARK ( a poem by me)
I find myself in the deepest, darkest cave
Contemplating the way in which I behave
Stuck here for what seems an eternity
Consumed by this strange abnormality

Not a sound, nor a word is said
Facing my fear of utter stillness
Facing my fear of my illness
Questions spark
