Darkness Never Wins

Darkness never wins
By Michelle Morris

Darkness never wins - 
It just blankets everything;
Trying to hide hope, 
Faith and love;
To smother all that 
Is good and caring... 

But darkness is always lonely,
Despondent and sad;
For it has no purpose, 
Only allowing the bad...

It craves for meaning,
To be seen and exist;
But without the light,
It's nothing but
An existential twist...

Darkness never wins,
For it always gives in
To the light;
For without the light
It remains friendless,
Unseen and untouched
By delight...
