The Fight Inside

Black as the night, black as my heart,
How I long must I stay before I'm allowed to depart.

The brightest of day seems like midnight to me,
The darkness is everywhere I go and in all that I see.

The light runs away from me in fear,
It knows there's no place for it here.

I try to surpress the demons inside,
But there's not a single place they can hide.

They tell me I'm worthless, I'd be better off dead,
How do I shut up these voices inside my head.

One voice is heard clearer than the rest,
It's the voice that causes me to want to run a blade through my chest.

You're worthless, you're a mistake, I hate you are it cries,
How much longer before I believe it's all lies?

I grow weary from the constant fight,
Is it that time I slip forever into the night?
