darkness

Slowly, it surrounds me It’s weighing me down More than ever before I don’t know why it has chosen now The depression is unbearable The sadness is crushing me I’ll soon be lost Underneath what I brought upon myself I could have stopped it It didn’t have to grow But, now it’s too powerful I can no longer fight it I must submit to the darkness It will consume my entire being But, I see a light A light in utter darkness Hope in the pits of despair That light will keep me sane I’ll never take my eyes off it Wait, the light is fading With my one light gone, My life once again plunges Back into the darkness And into an unwavering sleep
