Darkness Lingers Everywhere, in a smile, bared teeth. It is cloaked in friendliness; a hand across the small of your back. It presses forward with the guise of social incognizance, A simple misunderstanding; It’s not a big deal. Take your hands off me! Darkness treads on broken promises and crashes through boundaries. Darkness has a face, but it’s neither here or there. He’s everywhere. There’s a rage inside of me, that threatens to tear through my skin. Anger will be my salvation. Anger will turn a quivering hand into a fist. My body speaks when words fail me. Clenched tight. Flailing widely. Who dares to enter these hallowed grounds? And act like they own the place.

Nice Guys
Darkness Lingers Everywhere, in a smile, bared teeth. It is cloaked in friendliness; a hand across the small of your back. It presses forward with the guise of social incognizance, A simple misunderstanding; It’s not a big deal. Take your hands off me! Darkness treads on broken promises and crashes through boundaries. Darkness has a face, but it’s neither here or there. He’s everywhere. There’s a rage inside of me, that threatens to tear through my skin. Anger will be my salvation. Anger will turn a quivering hand into a fist. My body speaks when words fail me. Clenched tight. Flailing widely. Who dares to enter these hallowed grounds? And act like they own the place.
