THE dark side

I have been resting today @Bubbles3 .... low on energy cos I have still got this post viral fatigue illness. I’m here and listening. Sorry it’s a hard day for you.

Would watching tv with the children help @Bubbles3,

I know it sometmes helps my darling. When she was in hospital last year and feeling all alone she used to watch the same things they liked to watch and it helped. I know its not an everyone soultion cus it doesn't help me at all (our children never shut up long enough for me to listen and undrrstand the content lol) all but worth trying maybe.

They are busy playing outside. They dont watch much tv. There outside kids. @Determined

That can sometimes be a bonus @Bubbles3, our 2yo loves to be outside but ghe older boys just want to watch tv all the time. I wish they would go out more lol then at the same time wish bub would come in without argueing canf win sometimed lol

They do give us lots of joy and strength though.

Thanks @Former-Member i just feel so lonely.

I'm swimming all alone in a pool of darkness
and I feel like darkness is slowly pulling me under
I yell for help but no one is there to hear it
I begin to see the water at eye level
and I kick and flail
fighting to stay above the darkness
But the darkness won't let go of its hold on me
and I slowly begin to give in
to the feeling that lies below the water line
the waters starts to fill my lungs
the lungs that once held so much life
yet now they allow the murky water to replace that
I know that this path doesn't lead to happiness
But why doesn't someone grab my hand
pull me from darkness's grasp?
because no one knows I stand at the boundary
the boundary between light and dark
so I give in to the thing that holds me
All of the strength and all of the courage
that I once held in my heart
can't save me from the water
So I slowly slip below the world of conscientiousness
undetected by the occupants of that world
I don't want to fight anymore
I've given into darkness

Time stops
And stands still
Each day
Seems like a year
I'm lost
And can't be found
In this darkness
I lay dying
Cold
Empty
And alone
It holds me down
And won't let go
There is no escaping
it consumes me
until there's nothing left
I may look fine
But on the inside I'm full of death

Whisper it, don't let them hear.
Be careful; it's them you should fear.
Follow them, do what they say,
And for your sake, don't run away.
Their hearts are as black as black can be.
Their souls chill you to the bone, don't you see?
They'll lure you into their arms and tear you apart.
Then they'll suck the blood out of your heart,
Leave you gasping for air that surrounds you.
I know it sounds unreal, like it's not true,
But don't look at them, don't ask who they are.
Their darkness surrounds us from afar.
Don't provoke them, don't make them mad,
For if you do, the outcome could be bad.
The demons will rise through the land.
The darkness will clasp your cold, icy hand.
You'll remember all your darkened power,
And the demons will rise in the night's darkest hour.
They'll lead you to a darker path,
And you'll be the one to unleash the demon's wrath.
