The Dark

It’s almost like I can’t breathe

This feeling suffocating me

A darkness surrounding me

Caressing and enveloping me.

I can’t see it, but I know

This grip won’t let go,

Elusive yet steady hold,

Willing me to lose control.

Just give up, give in

Let the darkness win,

There’s no rest when

This fight doesn’t end.

I don’t want to fight it

I’m tired of even tryin’

I’m so sick of all this cryin’

At times it’s like I’m dyin’

I’m fine but I feel numb

Like I’m here but I’m gone

Joy went and left me alone

With darkness for a home

Make peace, not war?

What am I fighting for?

Who am I fighting for?

I don’t know anymore…

I’ve lost myself again,

Don’t know where I’ve been,

Everything seems to spin,

This darkness from within…
