Civil War

All around me is the dark,
Because I feel like I’ve lost my spark.
This world is far too cruel,
And everyone is such a fool.
I no longer can find my way,
As I turn even more gray.
So this is defeat,
Why is real life such a cheat?

No, wait, I can see again,
I can crawl out of my den.
There’s light again in my life,
And I’m reanimated with a brand new strife.
There’s talking and laughter and smiles once more,
Now I feel like I’m no longer fighting a civil war.
I can see the friendly faces that surround me,
Finally, I’m free.
