DARKNESS..



The light and dark
Play havoc
With me and my mind,
Oh! Why cannot they be kind,
I climb down the stairs,
But they catch me unaware,
I hide my face from their glare,
Still they stare
At me in the darkness, their glowing eyes scare
Even when there is someone around to care.


With my palms I shut all sounds
In my ears, want to go deeper down into the ground,
So that all their voices are drowned,
In the deep sea of darkness, all around,
When I try to be home bound,
They jump in from nowhere and astound,
Go away! I do not want to be found,
You three headed hellhounds,
Why do you follow me and hound,
Wish I could my problems to the darkness expound.


I want to wear the darkness,
In it I find my happiness,
My friends and family are now my enemies,
They have become conniving entities,
With the sounds, wanting to commit felony,
Breaking me into shreds mentally,
I want to go away, afar,
Wage a war
Against them, disown them, drown in the darkness's ocean,
Waiting for a soundless, lonely expiration.
