What do we do when the fear that we hide from
is hiding inside us waiting to pull is into the glum
abyss that is held trapped in our minds
what do you do with all that knowledge that the inner dark finds
all those memories twisted and misshapen
when all we can do is sit and become increasingly laden
with all of these thoughts and worries
that can not be shaken remaining as nightmarish stories
of what will happen if we slip and fall
and when that happens it will be like you have never existed at all
for all that is left is a husk of you
a shattered image unfixable, held together by emotional glue
with more and more slipping away
never to be seen another day
so when we are scared of the dark outside our walls
when all that should scare us are inside our mental halls
watching, waiting, anticipating and willing
our collapse into a nightmare with no waking
fulfilling the Darkness in our minds desires and joy
but the darkness will never win and turn you into its chew toy
for within us all there is a force that can topple anything
and take back our minds and be free from darkness' sting
for to match the dark there is light in equal measure
and in fighting for us it gains immense pleasure
