A Darkness

It's there...
Deep inside of me.
It's hidden behind a wall of confusion and hate.

I can't help myself,
When it comes out to play.

It likes to make itself known, very quickly.
I don't like what it does,
What it says,
To my friends,
My family...

Their the ones who hate the Darkness the most,
my loved ones...

But when they approach me...
Something on the inside turns off.
I think the Darkness turns it off,
So I stop listening, or caring...

My loved ones try to pull me to the surface...
But, they don't understand...that...

I've drown a long time ago...

I think it wants to protect me from the outside, The Darkness, but I have to remember...
I'm the one who called it 'The Darkness'...
