Words in Dark Corners

Trigger Warning. Mental illness I am not a writer of fairy tales,happiness and joy.My ink is steeped in darkness.Slicing into my veins,It bleeds hopelessness.My words are twisted tales.Delving into the depths,A tortured soul emerges.The reader’s want humour, nostalgia and joy.Anything to escape their own demons.I apologise,For my words are riddled with sadness.That will only disturb…
