Too long I have spent,
Shrouded in shadow
That I have forgotten the sunlight,
And within my pain and suffering grow
It is time to shake off
This lethargy that binds me
And blinds me
With lies and such atrocities
I yearn for the light,
But the shadows are all too familiar
It clings to me, my family,
Even though it brings pain and such things similar
Shadows are an absence of light,
Therefore no good comes with it
Yet shadows are always with me,
And I am finding it hard to split
I will try with all my might
To crawl out of my shadowy hellhole
And bathe myself in brightness,
Whilst I reclaim what the night stole
(My Hope)

I am trying to get better, guys. To stop constantly thinking dark and unhealthy thoughts, to become a better person, and as such this will impact my poetry a little. Hopefully for the good. I hope you don't mind the change, whether pleasant or not. Happy Holidays!
