When Shadows Turn Darkest

Sulking in the shadow  

Of continual despair,

Everything that I know

Falls from my hands into air

 

Open spaces calling

For me to run and escape,

My feet failing, falling

I can't leave this sullen place.

 

As I look to the sky

And wonder of tomorrow,

As I so wish to die

Put end to today's sorrow.

 

When shadows turn darkest, I awake...

Blinding light, becomes my sweet escape.

I had the first quatrain written already, and I decided to wing it and just throw down whatever came out first. No real feeling was put into this, or it would have been better.
