Mind Your Step
Not a sound is heard
Nothing moves
All is silent
Always dark
Nothing stirs
Not one life
Always oppressive
Alert to movement
No one understands
Not a thing is aware
Anyone can enter
Anything can destroy
The Dark moves in like a shadow
Creeping along
Without a care in the world
Following, tracking
Consuming all it touches
Never letting go
Always holding on
With a grip firm and everlasting
Maintaining control
Never slipping
Always moving
Can never get away
Never free
No one can see
The Dark that consumes
The hold it has
Griping painfully the Heart
Mind grows dark
Dark with shame, remorse, sorrow, self-hate
Light straining to make ground
Pushing against Dark
Never ending battle
Harsh and relentless
Pounding, stabbing
Hurts
Make it stop
Hope is small
Sleep alludes
Rest is meager
Shame is abundant
Remorse; all around
Sorrow never ending
Self-hate; unwanted but relentless
Why is the escape?
This world
Dark rules
Light is fleeting
Want
Need
Beg, for relief
Where is it?
Why must it disappear?
Taunting
Running away at first sight
Please
Let open the cage
Unlock the meaning
The way
To freedom
To sanity
To reality
Let me be whole
Let me live my life
Without The Dark
Never stopping
Nothing can penetrate
Always consuming
Everyone runs
No one can see
Nothing hears
My cries for help
Except One
His hold is Strong
His anger harsh against the Dark
His Love sweet against the pain
His smile gentle with care
His Hope never fades
Nothing can stop Him
Always wins
Everyone respects
No one is lost
Nothing is wrong
He is my Shield
