The Darkness No One Knew I Had

Sunshine, Rainbows
I had all I wanted to everything
I've ever needed
Playing everything nice and slow

Now look, think, fast forward
Rewind, pause
I'm stuck in the past
One that was once meaningful

A bittersweet laugh
A downright dubious smile
Finally fed up with all my
Manipulative monster-like
Thunderstruck thoughts

Darkness a new light
Sadness a companion
Regret a great pleasure

Do I convey a happy persona?

Does no one realize my pain?
This flesh eating, soul crushing
Sinful darkness no one knew I had
