The abyss was all to be seen
The one light showing me my path, gone
For this is depression
This is an Eternal Darkness
All that I can see is blackness
To this day I still fall
To this day, my light has gone
Slowly making it's way further into me
Consuming my soul
A soul once bright to become dark
The darkness started a few years ago
The darkness will still be there no matter what I do and how much I want it to go
For I am still falling into the abyss
Still falling into the dark with no light to be seen
For this darkness is eternal
For the darkness to be caused by people who you considered family
Makes it spread quicker than it should
To make a wall that protects
Protects from the unknown
Protects from making friends
The wall starts to close in until you want no more
Sometimes it can stop and a light appears
Those lights are temporary
There can be those that are lucky to permanently escape the darkness
Yet for me, I can't
I'm a black soul
I am living in fear of the light
I live in the Eternal Darkness
