Darkness
Why do we like living in darkness
It hides us,
Makes us feel safe from the outside
Keeps all the wrongs from the light
Keeps the pain away
Moves the day along
Trying to keep strong
Fighting all along
Never get beat down
Constantly standing your ground
Crying and weeping, praying
That I wake up the next day stronger than before
Able to wield my sword
Raise my shield against the whips
Bite those who cast a pit
Never fit
In this life
I truly strive
Never once did I take the dive
The one that leads into my soul
Where there seems to be forever a black hole
Sucking in all that's good
Whatever it takes I never understood
So, I let it flow through the night
Hoping that It can end this strife
This life
I love it so
But how can so many just let it go
I never understood
I will never forget
The ones I loved
The ones who fled
To redeem my soul
With all these holes
Feels like I'm wasting a lot on the tolls
The ones that shake my very soul
Maybe that's how I fill these holes
The ones of darkness
The ones that grow
I'll take a shovel and plug them so
I don't lose my memories
I want to grow
