May 2014
I sit here, in the dark night.
Thoughtss running through my head,
I want to escape it
But I can't.

It is building inside of me,
Trying to get ouy,
Growing as the day goes by.

If only,  
If only I could leave!
Runaway,
This place has left me feeling helpless
Feeling empty
Feeling numb
It leaves me dead inside.

I can only see the darkness,
It follows me,
It follows me wherever I go
I try to run,
I try to hide,
But the shadows know me to well.
They know how to find me,
They won't let me go.

The light is dimming inside of me,
My soul is growing darker.
And I can not stop it now
For it is to late,
To late for help.

It is like hell,
But I don't want to leave.
It has kept me here for to long.
I have become a part of it,
It has become a part of me.
The sadness,
The darkness,
It is who I am.

All light is lost,
The fire that once burnt in my soul,
Has been put out.
By the shadows
That haunt me,
Where ever I go.
