The Dark Never Tells - Quotes From The Dark

The Dark Never Tells

Wake me up

so this nightmare will end

I ache so

the pain filling me

until all I am

is broken

I can't bear this agony

time and

time again

it creeps in

taking away the light

all the while

the voices in my head

keep telling me

this is all I deserve

Is this all I am to be

a wreckage of a soul?

Waiting for the end to come

never knowing how to be whole?

I take a breath

trying to find some way

some solace

some peace

in what I hope is true

the reality of the present

this room

the dark

but I can feel it all

on the edge of my mind

pulling at loose strings

ripping apart the bits of me

I'm trying so hard

to hold onto

Is this all I am to have

pieces I can't even find inside?

All the things I wanted to be

tattered, torn, cast aside?

I wonder why

I welcome

the dark

shutting my eyes to it all

waiting

for the world to crumble

to fall apart

There's nothing left for me

nothing

but misery

an agony

that has become a personal

hideous hell

Maybe it's true

this really is all

I was ever meant for

who knows ...

the dark never tells

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
