A Walk Into the Darkness

I take a walk into the darkness Deeper and deeper I go Such courage, such enthusiasm As I so boldly walk on a path I did not know With every step I take The light fading The path winding So very disorientating A frightening feeling Somehow realising The demons are whispering Dancing and prancing Never seeing, never touching But just there, behind my back Waiting, deliberating, as to when I might snap Feeling a little scared now Thinking this idea, should've never been conceived A way back now, is what I need Maybe I should just stop Is it time to turn back and run But the curious darkness looms and beckons me on and on The demons too whisper their song Come and dance with us, on and on You know you just want to belong Then all of a sudden, all is gone No light to see, nothing left, not even me A skeleton left, where I used to be My mind, my body, entrapped When all I longed for, was to be free I see now this isn't right I really need to put up a fight Return myself back to the light The demons whispers are all but rubbish All I need now, is my own good courage Battling on and on I'll find a better way Living my life from day to day Never looking back But always remembering not to stray Back to the place where my demons lay.
