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.
