May 2016
The sun floated in
The curtains drawn back
It slowly tossed over
Revealing scars running crisscrossed
Their back a canvas showing their life story
It's name is Darkness

It has suffered the most
Out of light and into dark.
The name carries many
To the the people who carve them selves up at night and pretend during day
With those that have lost all

This is Darkness Unveiled
Darkness that haunts every grave
Darkness that haunts every person
Some chose to ignore others embrace it
The scars on its back
Are the scars of the people.
People who had horrible things done to them

One person was abused they carry dark bruises that are blue and purple
One person has cuts self inflicted
Another has scratches and welts from trying to get the thoughts out
Then there are the ones who died
They gave up and succumbed to the darkness.

All they needed was a helping hand
A hand held out and pushed to all the people

Pain
Is whispered to all the people in the world.
If you can't see them then you are blind
You have succumbed to the darkness

The darkness is still there
Yet it is slowly going away
It is being replaced
A hand has appeared and it can drag you away
Away from the place that is hell.
