Darkness

It summons my soul though I try to ignore

It perforates me, cementing each pore

It lurks in the shadows all direction I turn

It consumes my thoughts and within it I burn

I try to pretend, I try to hide

I try to conceal every tear drop I've cried

I try to resist when it whispers my name

I try to turn my back, but it stabs me with shame

I wish it to leave me, I wish it to die

I wish it would silence its horrible lie

I wish I could kill it, this pain within me

I wish to destroy it so that I can be free

I feel it so twisting, it curdles my blood

I feel its drowning power like a terrible flood

I feel its maddening rage and I feel its regret

I feel its reminder, it won't let me forget

I hate how it haunts me, I hate that it's here

I hate how it mocks me, growing stronger with fear

I hate how it controls me, that it causes this mess

I hate it, please help me I'm trapped in darkness
