In Death, I Seek - Quotes From The Dark

Photography: Unknown

In Death, I Seek

Death seeks me out

with a grip dark and true

it tears at my soul with claws so sharp

a poison in my veins

through and through

Bury my bones deep in the dirt

I want nothing to do with this world anymore

bury me until there's nothing left

until I'm knocking and scratching

at hell's door

Grim, the reaper be

his cloak of black as night

come and take me, quickly death

take me completely

without a fight

Bury my bones deep down in the ground

I want nothing but the cold of the grave

this agony that death brings so close

so far beyond ever being saved

Death seeks me out

calls my name in quiet tones

I walk with open arms

into the abyss that is now my home ...

The Author

For "Into The Dark World" space, we are pleased to present you a new collaboration with TerriLynn Le Blanc, a wonderful poet that will bring us in a twisted land, full of emotions and darkness...

TerriLynn Le Blanc (aka Yvonne White) was born in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada in 1982. Her father's work made it necessary that her family move quite often throughout her childhood until they finally arrived in Lethbridge, Alberta in 1990. During her formative and teenage years, TerriLynn was prone to being

very introverted and enjoying her own company as opposed to others. This time allowed her to explore

her imagination, draw, and begin writing as well as delving into music.

She drifted in and out of creating stories and writing poetry as well as teaching herself to play piano, but eventually, she began to notice that her motivation for a lot of once enjoyable things was draining away. During her early twenties, things became apparent that not all was right in her mind and by the time she was 30 she had

been diagnosed with several different mental illness' which finally brought to light just why she felt like she was breaking apart and losing bits of herself slowly over time.

While endeavoring to find treatments for her disorders, TerriLynn picked up poetry writing again and found a release for a lot of the darkness she'd been hiding inside from when she was very young. She has since had two of her piece published and currently runs her own Facebook page with over 6,000 followers (to date) which she started in Aug 2017. From there, she continues to write every day, posting at least two new pieces a night all with the goal of reaching out to others who may be feeling what she's feeling and fighting to see the light of day in the dark. Her goal is to be a voice for those who can't express what they feel and to drive away the stigma behind mental illness.

"I want people to finally realize that it really is okay not to 'be okay' and that breaking can be

beautiful ... breathtakingly so." - TerriLynn Le Blanc
