Darkness has always followed me
Entranced by my every step
It curls its lips
And cackles a little
As the flames of my existence begin to burn
I plead
I beg
I cry
Please just lead me to the light!
But still I'm warmed by its embrace
The breath of it's shadow leaving scars behind
And then one day
I found a bit of courage
And with my shoulders square
From my soul erupted
Darkness why do you love me so?!
Why do you haunt my thoughts
Why do you lurk in the crevices of my mind
Why do you dig your claws within me
Why won't you let me be free
And it shook its head
With a hint of sorrow
And solemnly replied
*My dear, don't you see?
I am found inside of you*
