The Darkness

I won’t lie, I want to die sometimes.
Picture volcanic swimming pools as I take a dive
Something quick…
I don’t desire pain, that’s the exact type of strain that led me to this place

This painful palace that I wish could collapse on me.
Tears that never fall somehow still end up drowning me.

Will the castles that I build in the sky ever rise?
Will the legacy I leave live an everlasting life?

A burden to those that love me
Fearing my own journey
I overcome my demons
But the devil is never done with me

I am the hero and villain in the story of my life
Designer of my own destruction
Saviour from my own despair
Sometimes I rise from my plight but the feeling is always near.

The darkness never really leaves, it is a shadow that can always cloak you in the deep of the night.
Never truly fleeing your side
As I try to leave it behind
“follow the light”

My moods swing
A slave King

The love in ones life is the hope that I rely on.
A different kind of coat to cover me in dry storms
I’m letting bygones be bygones
I’ve made the bed I lye on..
And still I dream…
So it seems.
