Darkest Parts of You

The bars of my self made prison tremble My world begins to shake Nothing is as it seems The cracks in the cage grow larger I start to sink Enveloped by the darkness The light begins to dim The darkness welcomes me like an old friend I dont fight it anymore I allow the darkness to wash over me To consume me To swallow me up How can you extinguish that which did not exist My fight had been beaten from me long ago My world has been blown to bits so often its barely whole itself The world cannot save me now Nobody can save me Time for everyone to turn a blind eye To pretend that your coping and doing well Pretend, their good at that Ignoring what’s right in front of them Conceal it Cover it up Brush over the imperfections Bruises fade right? The world will go on with or without you I hold no significance In this place iv wandered aimlessly for 30 years Down trodden and back stepping Apologising for things that weren’t my fault Fighting battles that weren’t my own Setting up home in these cages all my life Just swapping one prison for another This one il not escape I am my own prison My mind is dark My thoughts are all consuming and scary There’s no way out Nothing silences the evil Nothing quietens the fear How do you erase the darkest parts of you?
