Darkness Inside
I hide with the fear inside
with the darkness that was a friend
This lead me astray
but loved me so
I could not tell you how
but I just know
until I found some light
to lead me on
in a way that would make me proud
to have a better dream
and leave that darkness
who was actually not a person to love
that kept me from becoming what I see for me.
to live a life I know that was right for me.
I loved you darkness
but you
I guess
had no love for me
I saw you as my angle
but you are just the devil
that heart I thought was mine
was nothing but stone
I saw the truth behind it all
without my head in the clouds
and my heart now filled with joy
instead of the norm
I could not remember the time
since I laughed
but could count every tear
every heart break
it all comes to mind
when I think of you darkness
you shall never have me
I am on my own
no fear of you
not wanting what you have
or ever had
I like myself how I am now
without you in my life
not giving a damn
I wish I could say you were a good mom
but that is a lie
you may have shaped my life
on what I don´t want to be
but to be different from you
you had no shame
I can´t call you a mother
but I could call you my darkness
lurking to strike me down
to push me to where you are
with no love for anyone
but yourself
in all
I don´t want to be held down
by anyone
expesially you
because you never loved me
