IN DARKNESS

In these days of time, 

I had turned and accepted darkness as my companion.

With a sticky feigned smile on these lips, I'll believe this will last forever.

All I had craved for is an ocean of such happiness.

Is that also fairytales??

But is this all it'll ever be? 

The darkness is comforting but lonely,

Will silence be my only friend forever?

I need space?

I need to breathe.

But I can't do that here.

Not in this darkness

I need to breathe, but it's getting harder.

I need air, I'm suffocating like there's CO in my lungs.

Is anybody out there, I just want to breathe. . . and live.

Would it be crazy if I said I loved the darkness?

Yes, yes I would be.

But am I really?

If only you knew what went down in the darkest recess of my mind...

But wait,

A ray of hope, it sits just at the tip of the horizon.

I see it, I feel it.

Maybe if I wait a while longer, just maybe, the darkness will disperse and,

I'll be able to breathe again.

But that darkness has become my prison, I was wrong in embracing it.

But it's so hard to break free.

But I must.

It's now or never...

It’s no picnic here,

The darkness is wild and feral,

Like a beast on the hunt,

The apex of predators.

But I fear not,

For what has darkness got to do,

With children of light?
