The darkness is all they see
Cowering from the light of the world
Refusing to allow their eyelids to rise
Denying themselves of what they deserve
They choose to stay in the darkness
Where they are most comfortable
The place in which they do not have to fight
Placing themselves as the lowest of us all
The darkness is where they thrive
Blind from all the world could be
Huddled together against the wind
No fear, for they know they chose this life
The darkness will kill them
It is not kind, nor will it make exceptions
In its selfishness, it is a warrior
And it will show no mercy

I hate when people allow themselves to be treated like shit. You deserve better, so fucking fight for that shit
