At Home In the Darkness
At Home In The Darkness
I am not afraid of dying
I have spent a thousand years in darkness
Hiding behind a million nightmares
My existence is not what my heart told me it would be
I live wanting and wishing for an elusive moment
One moment of light truth and hope
All I have is the burn of my tears
The sweet saltiness of my blood
Tears on my flesh open to the putrid air
The world rejected me
My thoughts were too off the wall
I was too different and did not want to change
That was their mistake to make
They chose and I fled into the darkness
It is where I belong…where I survive
But I am not afraid of dying
I have spent a thousand years in darkness
It is my home and that is all I deserve
