surrounded by darkness

falling

stuck

in

the

darkness

forever

the darkness

consumes

you

every waking moment

you try to escape

but

you

just

can’t

because it shrouds you

covers you like a blanket

wooly and thick

and you

can’t

see

anything

except for the darkness

because the darkness is a constant

reminder that you’ll never escape it

never

ever

escape

stuck, you could say

and you’ll fake a smile and try to run and hide

from your problems

but it’s

pointless

and you’ll

never

win

the darkness is always there

just behind you

you can’t really even see it

it’s clever, the darkness is

it comes to you when you’re most

vulnerable

i’m warning you

don’t

give

in

and the darkness comes when you think

all

is

lost

and you’re

hopeless

and you don’t think you can hang on

any longer and you just want to…

you just want to give in

but no—don’t give in to the darkness

please for me

the darkness

it’s dangerous stuff

made of childhood fears and

present time nightmare of failure

and hate

don’t give into the darkness

you’re stronger than that

better

than

that

i promise you

you

can

win

you can climb up

from the ashes of anger and dust of disappointment

you can win,

i

swear

it

just promise me

you won’t give in

you’ll fight for a long time

and i know that you’ll win
