Q: the Silent Room of Screaming Souls

In a locked room the shadows lye
a darkened life they live in shame
their secrets of a forgotten youth
those who knew them have forgotten there name.

Shadows of people, of souls which are lost
they run away from the blinding light
so afraid of what they have become
they live forever in the night.

Clawing the walls, the doors, themselves
they are trapped with no way out
begging to be rescued from their hell
they always scream but never shout.

With blood stained tears the shadows exist
lingering between the night of day
and so when you hear them cry
it is because they have lost their way.

And so... The shadows will wait
in the room of silent night
where no words are spoken
in the silent room of screaming souls.

Life Is What You Make It
I know it doesn't have to be that way but I just don't know how else to be. I am very lost and very confused. Today once again I bought another packet of tablets but I didn't take them all, for once. I just don't know what to do anymore, I feel like I will never change even a little bit and so I am one of the shadows, waiting to be rescued from myself but I don't know when or who will rescue me.
Sometimes in life things just seem to hopeless and so dark that even on the sunnest days you can only see the bad and you constanly live in the dark, in the shadow.
Life doesn't have to be like this I know and I really hope that for other people its not like this but for now this is where I am and I don't know how to get out of it.
Yep finally 18 but its really not a big deal, age is not really important because if I were to put an age on myself I wouldn't say I was 18 I feel more like 50 hehe. People are ageless and so I think thats the way it should be, you are what you feel and for many that doesn't reflect their age be it young or old.
Well I better be going i'll probably write again soon. I hope you are well and taking care of yourself
