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
