Dead Dark

He wore a black shirt to blend into the night
 With black jeans and converse that fit just right
His hoodie pulled up to conceal his face 
From a world that had given and snatched his place 
He was dark and hidden in the shadows
Afraid of what it meant to become unraveled 
He was tired of the pain, and everything that had been said and done 
In a world of opposing powers he chose to be gone
So the day be chose to leave everything behind 
No one would cry for his unlived life
