In the Darkness

I wander in the darkness looking for the light

Alone in this darkness I have lost the will to fight 

Standing in this darkness I strain to hear a sound 

Looking into this darkness trying to see who's around. 

Sitting in this darkness no use to scream and shout 

Running in this darkness my mind won't let me out.

Laying in this darkness I know without a doubt 

To except this darkness is not real will eventually get me out.

The repetition of darkness does well in this verse!
