Black

It feels like a midnight breeze
It fills the night sky
it has the sound of silence
and cold like a winter's night

You stand surrounded by it
and you feel the coldness arise
and you ask yourself in the process
am I loosing my grip on the light

You stand with your thoughts
between light and dark.
and what's left of your sanity
implores you to reach for the light.

But you've found that this darkness
has come from your inner mind;
and if you look for a way to dissolve it,
you have to reach into your heart.

And as you peer into the sunlight,
the darkness gathers at your back;
you remember the things you've done
to cope and just survive -
all the secrets you've left behind.

And while this may rip your illusions,
the message I give you is life -
never forget your own darkness
but always strive on for the light.
