Darkness Life
forever in darkness
surrounded by my pain
I walk this empty world alone
no one knows my name
my smile is darkened
my heart is cold
the anger i keep hidden
no one will ever know
my face shows no emotions
I look at you and glare
the pain you see within my eyes
hurts so bad its hard to bare
the darkness all around me
is what i see in life
a darkened road into eternity
my soul locked up inside
people always ask me
why i never smile
they don't know what I'm feeling
or the pain that's locked my life
the darkness never leaves me
the light
it never shows
trying to find a way to get happiness
but my darkness wont let go
my eyes are cold as ice
always saddened
always gray
trying to find a different path
one that can make everything okay
when I'm angered people run
children cry in fear
the emotions that I've kept locked up
break free bringing blood red tears
no one knows what happened to me
but does it matter?
why would they care
my heart will never open
I wont do it
I'm just scared
scared that if i open it
hell walk back in my life
destroy whats left of my soul
cut me again with her knife
i guess I'm like a prisoner
locked up forever more
just me and this darkness around me
in a room without a door
I've given up on sanity
my dreams she haunts them too
I've given up on this lonely world
giving up is all i can do
