Darkness

Each night the darkness sets in , are the same nights the sorrow pours out from within .
As tears stream down my face, my mind convinces my heart , that it's out of place.
I get so sad and can't even tell myself why.
If only I knew it'd get this bad, maybe I wouldn't cry.

My heart heavier than a horse , but with anguish, of course . Each tear splashes on the floor  , leaving my soul so sore.
I can't get away from the hole I have fallen so deep in or the dreary clouds that follow me , raining pins.
Wish my mind would go blank and be still , no headaches.
Yet my heart keeps helping it run rampant, now there's heartaches.

Limited amount of opportunities to be happy , seeming like I've taken none , so I'm labeled as sappy.
A sap is all I can be . That black cat or black sheep is what people see in me.
A plague or a curse, so many times I was supposed to be in an hearse.
A shell of a human floating endlessly , still don't know a reason why I keep taking a breath shamelessly.
