The Dark Rider
The Dark Rider
I've become comfortable
with my darkness inside
as has the darkness become comfortable in depressions ride,
and at times
it really doesn't seem like
this sad hidden journey
will ever come to an end,
I once even went the extra mile to
find its end
and to my surprise
my attempt at dying
put me back on my feet and
gave me a different perspective
about life and living for
life truly is a gift and filled with amazing opportunities but...
Still at times
I'm dying crying,
and overwhelmed inside,
and haunting thoughts of ending this still come around for
that dark rider still resides
very much still alive inside,
so I put a smile on so
those who know my
character don't think I have
any bad feelings inside
to hide but this
constant happiness I
often portray
is often a lie,
I have what most want yet
there's an empty void inside
filled with negative chatter
and noise.
I guess no matter how hard
you work at
putting the past behind
You can never completely hide
from the darkness and
its convincing voice that
just won't ing die,
but
will continue to feed
your mind with
terrible ing lies that
in time will attempt to
diminish your inner light,
your internal source that
allows you to
live your very best life.
