Darkness

I sit in the darkness late at night
and I become lost in my thoughts
is this how life really is
nothing but sitting and wandering in darkness
can we ever come into the light and find that we are lost
or are we too afraid to realize the truth
are we really comfortable with being lost
do we not want to find our way

I sit in the darkness and weep for all the souls who have died in darkness
and continue to stay lost
how can we as human beings
who are so comfortable with the darkness ever see the light

I rejoice when I see someone who has the courage
and wants to try and find his light
and wants to be found
someone who is tired of being lost
who is tired of all the lies
someone who wants to find the truth

I sit there and continue my thoughts
and I realize
I too am just like all the other lost souls in the darkness
I have not yet found the courage to come into the light
I have yet to find the truth

I get up and I turn on my light
oh how beautiful it is to be out of the darkness
now I can see the truth
now I know what life is all about
no more will I be lost
no longer will I stay in the darkness
because I found my way out
