When Darkness Falls

Fri, 06/14/2013 - 01:27 -- bth5135

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.
