I was a boy,
A boy who could only see the dark nights,
Even as I was witnessing a sunrise,
All I saw was a dark night.
Everything felt bleak and hopeless,
Nothing to see and nothing to do,
Don't get me wrong I was never blue,
For there was no colour that described,
Seeing the skys tilt in my minds,
The grass as slithering snakes,
And the people I call friends,
Turn on me.

When I was fourteen,
Muddled up in the dark world,
That was my reality.
I got to know this one guy,
A heart so cruel,
That was not moulded by circumstance.
I could never look at him the same,
He had beat up a handicap kid,
A kid whos whole life was viewed,
At the height of a wheelchair.
Adding insult to injury he did it,
To steal the kid's phone.

I figured one day I'll see a world,
Where darkness does not blossom,
Where darkness is eradicated.
Yet as I walk around my neighbourhood,
It was never any different.
The people held smiles full of false hopes,
The parents who held their kids hands,
The couples who held each other to make out,
None of them seem to realize,
That evil lurks around.
