Shadows
Are you waiting there, in the shadows of my room?
Always near me with my loneliness and gloom.
Do you shake your head when I lose control?
Do you laugh with abandon when you steal my soul?
Do you get stronger the more I give in?
As I submit to the hatred that's buried within.
I can see that your evil is darker than black.
As I sit here in silence and wait for attack.
Suffocating in the stench of despair.
Will I ever escape this poisonous air?
Sinking deeper in the dark abyss.
Asking myself why should I even exist?
Blindly reaching for something to grasp.
Wondering if this is the last breath I gasp?
Grabbing something and holding on tight.
Determined depression will not take me tonight.
Pulling myself up, knowing there is reason to persist.
I'm not giving up! I scream with clenched fists.
I'll fight this sorrow tooth and nail.
I'll come back to myself...I will not fail.
