Tarred

My head is throbbing,

my mood is deteriorating.



I can’t seem to tune out

the demons in my mind.



They scream and scrape

like nails on a chalkboard...



scratching away hope

and leaving a residue

of evil intentions.



I just can’t get over

my bad attitude.



I just can’t find anything

to smile about.



My heart is black,

tarred through and through.



Who will clean me now?
