pitch black

Frightened
I walk through the dark
Alone
My eyes tired
Too dark to see
Pitch black
I hear voices
And footsteps from behind
Out of focus
Is my life
Always dark
Too dark to see
PItch black
How can I sleep
When I hear the voice calling
Not to me
But the person I was
I turn my back on my past
And when I look back
It's blurry
Too dark to see
PITch black
I'm alone
But that's how I like it
I look in the mirror
And hate what I see
The monster I've become
It's all my fault
But I'm content
I am liberated
By the libertine
The void of morals
In my heart
That makes it
Too dark to see
PITCh black
In the arms of madness
To hold me tightly
And give me shelter
From A world I can not know
Nor do I wish to learn
It's evil ways
Nor it's good
The line between the two
Is blurred
Too dark to see
PITCH black
Wrong of me
To feel this way
In a world I don't belong
Hide my eyes and cover my ears
Never to listen to the cacophony
That I live
No symphony for me
Just dissonance
as well as despondence
Too dark to hear
PITCH black
My ears once fancied
False symphonies
Of demagogues
And false idols
That I loved and cherished
But then my eyes were opened
I did not like what I saw
So I shut them once again
Tight shut
And covered my ears
But the madness was too loud
The sounds
Too dark to hear
PITCH Black
Nerves shot with a dagger in my hand
I wished for the pain to end
I slashed at the idols throat
So it could not play its devil horns
I slashed at it's hands to stop it
From playing Satan's fiddles
But I was cutting myself
With a double-edged sword
With wounds
Too dark to touch
PITCH BLack
Black was my blood
And my despondent mind
Some respite was what I sought
I ran away from the darkness of thought
But my mind slowly going the faster I ran it did rot
But maybe I could get away from this world with its zeitgeist and all could be forgot
But I was rapt in the thought that I sought and that all was a dream
Too dark to imagine
PITCH BLAck
No longer sounds or voices
No longer blurs of light
In a sea of dark
No chaos
No peace
Just paranoia that one or the other
Would come to take each others place
A life of moral just
Too boring
A life of sin and vice
Too much
But as long as this life was not either of these too
And as long as it isn't
Too dark to see
PITCH BLACk
As I finish
Here my lamentation
I tell you all heed my word
Do not let life rape your mind
Nor reap your soul from you before your time
Find pleasures in your pain
And Bravery in your fears
Never blur your vision
So that it is
Too dark to see
PITCH BLACK
