Darkness

Darkness

My days seem dark,
life falling apart,
darkness decending leaving its mark,
the confusion of when did this start?

I have never felt this alone,
in a sea upon thousands I was lost,
no one seems to hear my desperate tone,
hidden behind a mask my sadness is tossed.

Dying day by day but never dead,
those slivers of good, memories of light
Are those creations I’ve designed in my own head?
In a box it escapes I struggle to hold on tight.

Can I survive this for the rest of my life?
Will I be able to maintain this fight?
Am I the causing factor of my strife?
I am rapidly losing my light.
