Don’t try to judge illness unless you have been in it…
RIP Mr Williams…..

Cloaked in a tapestry of misery
Where no shade of darkness is enough
To hide you from what seeks you
Just beyond that door
Voices rise and fade
Frustrated with the pity
And the apathy that hangs
Heavy in an airless room
They reach for you swiftly
But pull back in hesitation
Terrified to be pulled down with you
Into this hole of sadness
You feed this hunger
And its grip releases momentarily
Only to snap itself shut suddenly
With bear trap ferocity
You remain unchained but shackled
You remain ungagged but speechless
And your tears are nothing more
Than falling reminders
Of the moments that it steals
