Go Away

Darkness creeps in through the creveces Soaking the edges of my bright life with an unruly stain I thought I had left it far behind me But i found the stain too strong to remove completely A slow moving storm trying to engulf my once happy world Now which has become a dark nightmare I plead to wake from A word can be erased but the indent from its pressure will always be there And how can one remove such a mark Forgetting is impossible Running Unbearable Giving in Unexceptable I will forever be in it's ever darkening shadow Such grim claws crushing me in their grasp How could my body betray me so Letting illness breach their sturdy walls Once i was cancer ridden and sickly pale My wishes are strong but I cannot find myself a Wishing well Don't let it happen again PLEASE Let it all be a bad dream Let me still be healthy Give me a light that will forever blind this darkness knocking at my doors But if it is true And I have come to repat history for a third time Give me piece of mind Let me live at least a life will fullness And not one ruled by hospital beds My fights have been fought conquered and won Twice I was so lucky If I should go to battle a third time Pray that luck has been bestowed upon me a third My light will never be snuffed I shall shine as brightly as a thousand stars in a pitch black world My darkness will always be here But So will I At least I know I will Try Until The very day I die
