What If

In the depths of his soul, a darkness brews A sense of hopelessness, a feeling of being lost He searches for a way to escape the pain A way to silence the voices that haunt him He makes a list of all the things he wants to do Before he says goodbye to this world He wants to watch the sunrise over the ocean To feel the warmth of the sun on his skin He wants to travel to distant lands To experience new cultures and meet new people He wants to taste the sweetness of life To feel alive, if only for a moment But as he checks off each item on his list He realizes that the pain is still there That no amount of adventure or pleasure Can fill the void that he feels inside He begins to see that the problem is not the world But his own perception of it That the darkness he feels is not something external But a reflection of his own inner turmoil And so he starts to seek help To find a way to heal and move forward It's a long and difficult journey But he knows that he is not alone. _SirIsSire
