Darkness - Poem

The will to move on, nothing left but to fight,
Battered broken and bruised, only darkness wanted not light,
The struggle to wake every morning, the struggle to live,
Holding on to the unknown future - but nothing to give,

Hatred fills the voice, but no one left to hear,
Only wanting what is mine, only wanting to care,
To hold them in my arms, is it too much to ask,
With my one last breath, one last thought, one last gasp,
I am I, you are you, we are human,

To walk along the Shadows, is a desperate game,
To feel the comfort of the Shadows, takes away the pain,
The light hurts your eyes, please take it away,
Take what’s normal, takes whats sane, just let me stay,

The comfort is in the darkness, nothing to see or to need,
The comfort is in the aloneness, it takes away their greed,
The comfort is in the quietness, so alone and yet so free,
To think my things, to be myself, just wanting to be me,

I wish to be alone, but I miss them more than you know,
Taken by the system, now with nothing to show.
