There's darkness inside me, voida hole no soul could've filla bottomless pit of nothingnesshidden are the emotions in its wallsfar from any lightfar from prying eyescowering in the nightyetthey're desperate to be found
There's wrath inside me, ragea beast drunk on pastwretched and downcastchallenging any who ever passgrasping at every chancetrying to claw its way out,hopeless to lose its fast
There's sadness inside me, a dark shade of blacka dead ocean with no end to its backdeep as infinite, darkness all aroundand all i can do is just float aroundlet it take me my handclinging to me like band,no matter what i doday and night, awake or asleepwhatever that i do,wherever that i go
There's cold inside me, frosty wintera storm all around the wallspushing back any who comes closeand here i sit,alonein the middle of desert
There's a weight inside me, stony cold heartaching and hollownot broken but scarredwounds beyond the power of sightwounds for those with mightin their eyes
There's a battle inside me, warmy dark and my lighteach pulling its weight in this tug-of-wara minute of light, an hour of darka day of light, a week of nightim ever fightingever winning, ever losingtorn in betweenThere's fire inside me, a sparkever so small, but not without strengtha fiery particle of hopehope of a better day and peaceful nightsof times without the wari keep the spark close,nourish it till it growsbit by bit, little by littleone day it will be strongenough to burn down castlesenough to burn down the wallsand that will be the day i face the darkthe day that the beast will die
