The Darker Side

Ever notice in our lives, all the pain and how we strive, To hide our hearts from all the pain, in which I know, I'm not the same. My heart, my soul, they yearn for hate, all of this is all my fate, This other side, this darker me, it's the one that no one sees. The darkness holds me tightly, holds me and it won't let go, My morbid thoughts, my dark ideals, all of it finally show. A silent act, a wounded mind, all of this is me, And a blanket of black covering all is what I must see. Everything dark and alone, and light I cannot find, Not knowing love or how it is to always be kind. I can't catch up with myself, and cannot find my rest, My spark of light lost in the black, though I try my best.
