in the darkness

there is light,

but u must look hard

for the light is not bright.

although some say

it's just a waste of time,

they have wasted there lives

but there not wasting mine.

cause I believe in that saying

"there is a little good in everything",

like in the night things lurk,

and during the day birds sing.

joy is only where u find it,

night or day,

though they say night is 4 criminals,

the place where fools play.

in the darkness things are hidden,

does that make these things bad,

or just a title that is given,

to the things that some can't have.

or 4 that fact understand,

tell me do u even try,

don't just sit there and shrug your shoulders,

learn the answer to the question why.

or do u think by chance,

all people are just like u,

then u are living in the dark ages,

and what u believe is not quite true.

in the darkness there is love,

affection and things that care,

even more take the time,

look and see what is really there.

don't close your eyes and assume,

4 you might start 2 weep,

open your eyes see what's there,

try not 2 fall asleep.

stay aware of what could happen,

don't be surprised at what u can't see,

because there are many things in the darkness,

including who I be.

so u must take that trip,

I promise u will be astound,

u might even find yourself,

4 that is where I was found.

in the darkness I stand alone,

though I do not stand afraid,

of the bull that always happens,

because it's just the life I've made.
