Words and Heart at Work

mission unaccomplished

For a time now,
I've been staying low,
Not wanting anybody to know
That darkness is taking over
And my personal monster
Is going undercover.

I had been afraid of the dark
Just like when dogs suddenly bark
I get jumpy at times
But I got used to it through time.
Well probably that makes the rhyme
Honestly, that was just a lie.

Because even when I move towards the light
And pretend that my day is bright
I cannot deny the fact
That I'm just putting an act
It's true I've been putting on a mask
But believe me, even that was a hard task.

I guess, that's how I'm supposed to
Go about my life though
I truly want to give up
I just cannot.
I don't want that.
I can't give up (just yet).
I want to cling on
Because I'm still hopeful
That I could save them
Even when it means I would be in the ruins.
