The dark night of the soul Is not for the dual and the cruel To my anxiety, darkness, and depression You have erased my image Taken and deepened my sleep Just give up, lose the grip, and just lose the grasp You have no command Just my notes of sadness If you can't understand this path Just be gone Shame on you Like a flicker of a candle I try to hold onto the night Like I hold onto the reasons The truth is I am running out of excuses I am so tired of being afraid Breathing itself you were in my hand But I keep asking questions Answers already sewn into my deep dark soul Strain and tension I am a golden okay My heart, my soul, my mind, my beloved You have done so well Congratulations You are the evening mixer And will continue to be the morning elixir.
