The darkness is closing in,
Theres no way out,
No little fire escape out of my mind.
I don't remember light.
All I remember is darkness.
I can't recall the feeling of hope, Looking forward to the next day.
The window in my mind has had a shade pulled over it for the longest time.
Or maybe the light was fake,
maybe I was never truly happy.
The darkness has stuck me in my mind.
The darkness is like quicksand.
It traps you,Then the harder you fight,
The more you're traped within.
I know the darkness will swallow me,
So why fight?
Maybe the darkness has always been close to me,
But I just never knew it.
The darkness close and lurking in the shadows.
Waiting fo me like a leopard.
For just the right moment,
When I was wounded,
Unprotected,
Vulenerable.
Then pouncing on me, And swallowing me up,
Never to be heard from again.
All my life, I've been like a rock in the ocean,
Against the great cliffs.
Each hit slowly breaking me away,
Eroding me into nothingness.
The ocean swallowing me up,
Leaving nothing,
Except the memories in others minds that I touched.
I will fight,
Slowly wiggling myself out of the darkness.
Letting the shade,
And light finally breaking the darkness in my mind.
I remeber the light, the hope,
But that was so long ago.
I shall never let the darkness swallow me.
