In A Dark Place


In A Dark Place

It's well past 9pm  and as the lights dim 

so does my mood , I feel like i'm in a dark place

trapped inside of a closet of a very dark room.

Contemplating on things like

waht should be my very next move;

I dont know i'm just exhausted from alot of things

work , family , even a couple bills thats past due.

This it it really messes with my psyche 

but i guess the devil is just tryna sike me

see being in a dark place

has me saying things i shouldnt say

lord please dont let my kids recite me.

The only way to deviate from the darkness

is to dismiss negativity completely

now my worries can stop recycling.
