DISILLUSIONED OF DARKNESS

I do not like

the way I feel

I don't like

the state of mind

that I am in

I feel the bitterness

the coldness

emptiness

of his darkness

querulous of mind

thoughts of the unkind

hate is always at my door

leaving me among a life of the poor

I do not yearn for false love

I don't look down on the homeless

but I do dread the dawn's

that holds no light

I do stand up and fight

for what I know is right

I hate to go to bed

because that is where I will sleep

that is where I weep

I have bad dreams of he

Dark Angel never gives me peace

all he gives is darken dreams

that makes me scream

he gives me a world of darkness

a place that always makes me cry

he seems to never leave my side

I feel so disillusioned

my heart holds nothing

but my mind holds all things

my eyes hold visions of time

I am not sick

but I feel sick

dreams are shoots in my mind

like fireworks of hell

my soul is crushed

spirit weak and lost

body sore

I don't like me anymore

I don't like what I had become

with a heart always on the run

this dark life is no fun.
