The dark shadows creeping in
Is it seasonal depression?
Or is it the one demon?
The demon I never want back
The demon that speaks negative thoughts
The one that made it so dark for years
Until the coping skills I learned
Once in a blue moon that darkness tries to sink its claws back in me
The claws sink deeper each time
Darkness snuff my light so dim
To the point it doesn't exist to me
I'm afraid each time
When the claws sink in
My world seems so dark
Each time I never know if I'll escape it
Or it will take me six feet under
Even now it's terrifying to know the demon
The demon that exists to cause harm
I don't want it to ever come back
I have little ones
There childhood are in my hands
They need me to be here
I can't let the darkness sink me
To the pitch black depths of the ocean darkness
