The Darkness Within

Lurking in the back of my mind,
Arms reach, far away from my kind;
Always with me, unceasing,
The darkness is consuming;
It casts its silhouette all around,
Keeping me close and keeping me bound;
The light is hard to keep a hold,
When everything I feel is cold;
Only to stay afloat and not drown,
What to do when you are dragged far down;
It keeps calling me to remain,
Maybe I should give in to pain;
Put the rest of my sanity on the altar,
Steal far away all the is my greatest falter;
And release what all is caged inside,
The dangerous demons not defied.

 

Prisoner

The world is dark, full of hate,
Only growing stronger, as of late;
Should it be you or me,
Every one of us should flee;
There is no more white and black,
I sincerely wish we could go back;
All the time, we fall short,
Each one of the failing courts;
The world is on fire, crumbling down,
Leave it be at sea, let it drown;
Nothing can save the world,
Not even those who are bold;
Close your eyes and count to ten,
Open your eyes and see the pen;
Locked in your enclosure tight,
No escape for you tonight;
Hope you came prepared,
For what you dared;
Leave nothing on the moors,
Take everything that is yours;
See you later, hopefully soon,
You can sing your favorite tune;
Do not save your breath,
All that is left is your death.

Escaping Memories

Everything I see,
It is killing me;
Nothing to say,
It slips away;
My mind gets lost in the night,
What am I doing in this fight;
Faces blur, forgotten names,
Meeting people, all the same;
Cannot wake up from this mist,
Telling me all that I missed;
Trapped in this daze,
Escape from the haze;
Slowly disappear,
Run into the fear;
Cannot leave this hell,
Stuck deep in a well;
Clawing my way up,
Slide into a rut;
Leave me there,
In their care;
Go on home,
Let me roam;
Forever till I die,
I am about to cry;
Several visitors for a while,
They can see that I am quite riled;
A question for the few,
Who are all of you?
