Darkness
Movement.
It brings us closer to the light.
But forgotten shadows through the night.
As we sleep this darkness grows.
And nightmares form on our hopeless fears.
Breathing in is the darkness around us.
The darkness we hide from.
That we call names to help us face them.
Depression, nightmares,
They all show our darkness.
That grows.
That grows within us.
To give us the light through the night.
To give dreams that don't fight.
That won't give us frights.
Only to stay for moments before giving us up.
We cannot excape.
We cannot run.
The darkness is us.
We are the darkness.
For we don't fight our fears,
We fight ourselves each night.
