When Darkness Wins

     When you get lost in darkness
And hopelessness and doubt
When you feel there is nowhere to turn
And there’s no way out

When you feel worthless and you turn
To drugs or alcohol to ease your pain
You’ve lost everything and your dreams
Are washed away in a never ending rain

And suicide becomes the answer
And your own life you take
That’s when your loved ones get
Swallowed in darknesses wake

They loved you and tried to help
But you closed all the doors
And now your pain has been planted
In them like millions of spores

Your death left your soul
Unforgiven of your sins
emptiness devours the ones left behind
And that’s when darkness wins

Suicide doesn’t take away the pain
It just transfers it to someone else
Don’t let Darkness win!!!
