Darkness
the darkness
overwhelms me
eats at me
takes over
controls me
every night before i go to bed i pray
that the darkness does not take over me
every morning before i go to school
i wish that someone could help me
nobody can help me im all alone soon
the darkness will swallow me whole
leaving nothing in my place but a empty shell
i feel everyday it goes inches up my body
i first felt it when i was young it was at my knees
now the darkness is at my neck trying to get to my head
the control panel the place where i think
i see all my friends enjoying there lives
while i wallow in my own self pity and anguish
wont you join me
wont you comfort me
wont you stay
no oh sorry i bothered you
goodbye
