Dark Thoughts
I wish my thoughts could just disappear
they're as black as the night into which i peer.
my fears and worries can never be sated
depression is for what i am fated
Day and night my thoughts black as coal
each worry and thought wants their own role
they each want to destroy my mind
and scatter the pieces, impossible to find
year upon year i have fought this battle
but my mind herds me to depression like cattle
when i look around all i see is black
nothing i have, everything i lack
i wish i didnt feel this way, that i could get better
but i know my fate, down to the letter
A hole in my soul, dark, never ending
cracks in my mind that will never get mending
Maybe one day i can learn to cope
instead of resorting to the rope
But for now the black is alright
because i hope i can find the light
