Darkness descended,

A mind full of fog; intoxicated

Descended into darkness,

For that is where the thunder in my heart takes me,

Just like that, I’m in the midst of hell

The way I changed,

One drink was enough to send me to the edge;

The mix of self-hatred,

Drink and anti-depressants

Just like that, I was drifting,

Feeling heavier than ever

A drift that would sweep me away into what lay beneath

Descended into darkness,

I had become a shell of pain

It’s approaching a year now,

A year on I have so much to talk about,

From lights fading out to illuminations!

I’m more now,

More than I was;

More than I thought I would ever be!

Just like that,

Things became different.
