Darkness

"Stay away from darkness, get back in the light, dodge them nasty shielas, and do it diddly dum right." Darkness Yes mate i know the darkness, the sadness deep within, had a flirting shiela, heartless, drove me crazy, deeper sin, she had a mother making plans, to catch a rich man, for her daughter, so I was cast aside again, went bush, me life, to sort of? A stray chick in the bar, Said "toss her off your shoulder," Good advice, yes bloody sir, Catch a new horse, fore I’m older, We do serve time with people, That we owe, for things of past, Christine gave me everything, Devoted to the last! I swore an oath to remain unhooked, Till death, the last sure path, Me little heart is over wrought, When women do depart :( Don Johnson ~ A Rambling Poet ~ Contest Name A Poem, Please

Darkness comes sometimes with sadness, when you aren't being treated right, step away from the madness? perhaps then, i aint too bright.
