Darkness

Darkness darkness Why do you visit me Even now when the sun shine so bright Never did I know Never did I comprehend How darkness of mind Can cloud day and night How blackness of the soul cast a shadow over light I try to escape from my tomb So claustrophobic and tight The deep darkness within my soul Blinding my outlook on life Blinding my sight Ever so dark no escape in sight How ever much have I tried to welcome the sun Invited into my heart the light I battle on for evermore From within the cocoon of hopelessness Cutting through the womb Forever thirsting for the light And yet I have to concede Like a valiant soldier giving up on the fight I am welcomed back into my own darkness Regardless of whether it is day or night
