Darkness

The darkness envelops me.

No one sees it.

No one will.

Only me.

I feel it,

I see it,

And I know it.

I’ve been accustomed to it,

It’s a part of me now.

I don’t remember when it came

And I don’t think it’ll ever leave

I fear that, I fear it.

I can’t handle the darkness.

But I smile...painfully.

No one has seen my pain, they can’t tell

Cause I’m always in pain

But I continue to smile and laugh...

For them? Or for me? I don’t know.

Will I ever be the same?

Why does the darkness hurt, I thought it was empty.
