The Darkness Within


Mixed into the depths of my soul, a darkness resides
 Shadows that linger, a presence that hides
  A place where fears and doubts will grow
   A realm where hopes burnt out light won't glow

The darkness within me, this labyrinth of night
 A maze of shadows that consume all light
  This place of solitude, where the mind can't rest
   A sanctuary of sorrow where the Spirits nest

In this darkness within only silence shall reign
 A stillness that echoes where quiet sustains
  It's a place where courage dare not speak
   A realm where strong hearts turn instantly weak

This darkness within me, a void so profound
 A chasm so deep buried in the lowest of ground
  It's a place of uncertainty, where the future can't dream
   A realm of the unknown where the light has no beam

In the depths of my soul, this darkness resides
   This shadow that lingers, this presence that hides
