"Unforgiving Darkness"

The worlds heart is to hard and to cold to break for you

Frail, battered, and broken is this empty shell of a human being

One doesn't need to be a house to be haunted

The mind has millions of long hallways and many connecting corridors

Everything external has wicked its way in

A war has been sparked between one's mind and one's heart

A growing internal ghost has the perfect host

One's life becomes a lonesome place

No one recognizes one's face

Stripped clean, you mirror whatever others want to see

Its like yourself, behind yourself, concealed

There's this darkness growing and consuming

How does it creep in on you?

It seems like it comes out of no where, but you know that not to be true

It seems so slow and unflinching

Its like a deadly silent stalker

Your the perfect pray for an unforgiving predator

You never see it coming

It just jumps upon you, swallowing you whole

Where is it hiding?

Shadows lurk within you

Sometimes its simply sitting in plane sight staring you down

The whole world is watching

The weight of a thousand eyes are burying you alive

In a single second they make a life long choice

They pass cruel judgment and convict you

Your sentenced back into that barred prison that already exists inside of you

Their convictions towards you are like a loaded gun

By just being you, you are tempting their bayonets

Words are like numerous revolvers hunting you down

Stray bullets are a fatal thing to be left flying around

The darkness seeps in like an assassin

Wind blows through the emptiness like a bugle horn

One by one desperate tears fall

Peace cannot be found

You took your power in your hands and went against the world

The world took your will into its hands and turned it against you

The darkness has shut down your mind

Your blood will be spilled without a single blow

You will take up your eternal rest in the land-the ground-below

Questions fill this troubling void now

Where does this darkness come from?

Where does it get its power?

How does it creep in so quickly and so dangerously?

Is the darkness in you?

Is the darkness... you?
