The Darkness

[desertions]

A poem I wrote a while back...

The Darkness

They tell me to be positive
That I should see the bright side
But from where I’m standing
There is no bright side
Darkness has devoured me
It never lets me rest
All my pain and anger
Lies inside my chest
I want to let it go
I want to set me free
But all the bitterness I have known
Keeps building inside of me
Every once in a while I seen a hint
Of the light I used to know
But when I try to reach it
It no longer shows
I am sick of the darkness
After all these years
Will the light be revealed
If I face all my fears
Or will the darkness cloud my eyes
So I can no longer see
And if I leave the darkness
What will become of me?
Will I become strong
And stop pretending to be what I’m not
Or will I continue to decay
Cause darkness is all I got
