Dark days
I cannot hold back the darkness
it follows wherever I go
it knows everything, every secret I’ve hidden
it knows all that I know.
Even the sunlight throws out shadows of darkness
there is nowhere for my mind to hide
there is nothing to search for, nothing to crave
and I’m tired of saying “I tried”.
Most find a light that will guide them
nearly all will have ambitions and dreams
my only light was the false light of promise
that one day I’d know who would be me.
