I Am Darkness

I am darkness, I am night, I am where many are lost without hope in sight, I creep and seep, filling the cracks in you, with me. Encroaching, slowly, in little ways, pushing out the better days, replacing every happy moment with misery, with grimmer thoughts, with procrastination, lack of motivation, and no will at all. I change you, mold you, cast you in my die, warp you, twist you, with doubt, anxiety and lies. I don’t need to worry about haste, No, no. You won’t have the strength to fight once you realize, you are mine, because I work slowly, as the thing I have more than you, is time.
