Darkness
I break away from the old feelings
My heart has been pierced with a knife
I try to forget the old dealings
Try to forget my old life
Darkness has been abiding
In my soul it tries to conquer
Under my bed I’ve been hiding
From lightning and thunder
I never became afraid
Before all the pain
Your hand made a raid
On my heart and printed a stain
I’ve never felt so lost
Then the past year
Never realized the cost
Never been full of so much fear
I tried to reach out my hand
To weak I was to stay steady
No longer the days of warm sand
Or in the sun looking so pretty
I’ve become a wreck
No one seems to care
I’m only a little fleck
Messing up their
Plan to take control
Break me down
Make me no longer full
Of the beauty, they have mown
The grasses of my soul
Trying to take a sample
It’s been so cold
I’m not the right example
They say I lie
I never did before
Neither did I cry
Or fall onto the floor
Darkness has consumed me
And tried to take
The eyes that see
Then finally I wake
To find that I am free
