My Darkness

I have a darkness

Inside me

And when I cut

That darkness bleeds

Out from my wrist

And stains my sleeves

My now I feel

My pain relieved;


I have a darkness

Inside me

And now ive cut

And now I bleed

And happy I see

My pain relieved

But I guess there's something

Wrong with me;


I have a darkness

Inside me

That says there's something

Wrong with me

Because I like

the pain I see

As I try to cut

My darkness free;


I had a darkness

Inside me

But all of that

Is gone you see

The blood that poured

Out from my sleeve

Has taken the darkness

That was me;


I fought so hard to cast out my pain

And live to see a lighter day,

And tried so hard to cut out my grief

And yearned to see the darkness fade


But I am made from shadows

And I am made from gloom

And in the dark

No one could see

The satins

Of my blood bloom


For I had a darkness

Inside me

And I smiled so

No one could see

The pain I hid

Behind long sleeves

And lost

The battle

To be

Free.
