Light Bleeds Darkness
When the light is blinding
Eventually one can only see darkness
I used to be righteous
And stand up for justice
But fighting for justice is hard
When injustice is so rampant
People are so very droll
And I've become a troll
My smile has become a smirk
And my eyes have become lurid
As I open my arms
The newest steward of shadows
I may never live in the clouds
But I'll take my shovel and dig deep
When the light is blinding
I found sanctuary in the darkness
