Like the unstoppable roach, you cannot approach
Me with nuclear war, the bomb might be enough
To destroy mankind and commandeer an unclear mind
Its just that I became immune to the fallout, I created the antidote
It took time and i'm always perfecting the potion
Every war has a way of spreading a new emotion
Carissa Oct 2015
It was in the darkness, I found the way to light.
A cigarette in my mouth, staring into the night.
I called out in a deeper silence, but there was no one to hear.
Embracing my only company, I held my demons near.
They kissed my scars because they were the ones to blame.
They called me by my lies, they called me by my name.
They told me they would protect me from all my doubts and flaws.
Turns out my darkest demons were not darkness at all.
It was in the darkness I found the way to light.
It was in the darkness I found that darkness is needed to fight.

— The End —
