Despite the Darkness
Despite the darkness
where the most wicked of thoughts seep
into the crevices of my mind
Despite the darkness
where most people spend their hours asleep
somewhere in dreams that I struggle to find
Despite the darkness
where the ache in my chest
forms the cries that no one should hear
Despite the darkness
where pain arrives unwelcome
only adding to my fear
Despite the darkness
where there is no promise of a new day
that may have some shine
Despite the darkness
where its existence kills the chance
of every day being fine
Despite the darkness
where we all have spent some time
without it we could not cope
Despite the darkness
we would not be where we are
for without darkness there is no hope.
