Sometimes...
Sometimes
the darkness overwhelms me,
constricting my lungs
until I forget what it's like to breathe deeply. Sometimes
the darkness consumes me,
eating away at my happiness
until I forget what it's like to truly smile. Sometimes
I get a momentary glance at peace,
a small light shining through
until the darkness destroys it again.
That small light
is what keeps me here,
what stops me from exiting out
of this seemingly endless game
we call "Life."
