The Darkness Within.

In the depth of my mind,
lurks something evil and unkind
it torments the soul and leaves it behind
in the wake of fire I fall fully alive.

It soothes and it hurts
the darkness so kind
it fills up my mind
and it's so unkind.

It takes over your sight,
it's so hard to see
the light up ahead
it's painful and bleak

It becomes part of your life
like the shadow and the moon
Starlight fades away
it's just another day

So I accept it as myself
but the light still has faith
in the broken shell that I am,
That I cannot deny, even though I try.
