When Darkness Falls


The darkness around us is deep It runs deeper than just the night time It is more than just the lights out The darkness runs deep into the soul It runs deeper than just being sad It is more than just one bad day The darkness is dangerous when in the mind It hides it runs and it eventually explodes It destroys the build it builds on the pain The darkness leads to two paths One where the mind slowly suppresses it Two where the mind rapidly releases it The darkness takes away the beautiful life one could possibly have literally metaphorically maybe more than one beautiful life maybe the lives of those who don’t know that the darkness is real the lives of those that don’t understand and the only way to kill the darkness is with the most powerful weapon known to man words to talk about it.
