Darkness inside
Who am I
You may wonder
But listen close to my remedy:
Take a deep breath
And let it all out
Scream and shout
Until your lungs collapse
Your pain does not control you
You control your pain
Throw expensive champagne glasses
Against a cinderblock wall
Destroy everything in your path
You are a hurricane
Tearing through everything
Until it’s a barren wasteland
Of total emptiness
Everything you care for
Destroyed at your feet
Everything you are
Shattered into pieces
Only once you’ve nothing left to give
Will I disappear
No longer do you wonder
Who I am
For you know
I am the darkness inside you
And you can’t outrun me
For I am
Y o u
