Dark Passenger


As I attempt to find meaning Every morning, I struggle to quiet the voices in my head Brother says it's the dark passenger within me, fighting the voice of reason I picture it walking beside me, like God and death would and I wonder is there any harmony? I am torn and tired The dark passenger says I can stay as long as I want. My light friend is against it You won't come out alive. I want to keep them both. The darkness scares me, yet I embrace it. It indulges my fears and insecurities I can be myself without my cloak of indifference It's why I am always here. I could stat here but I know I will doe But we always dying anyway. My light friend passed by today He said, "You can't stay here" It's time You are not meant for this world I am happy to see him I take his hand and I know everything will be alright.
