The Darkness

There are different types of abuse
From drugs, to self inflicted homicide
To rape and injustice
That is lost in your exasperating pride

You are lost in the darkness
Now scared of the light
Afraid to be seen
You live your life in fright

You are under the influence
Of what people think
Which made you smoke a blunt
And take a sip of the drink

As you sit in darkness
All alone you cry
Believing no one loves you
And wishing you would die

You passed up the knife
But got hold of a gun
You tried to tell someone
That you aren’t having fun

But they didn’t listen
As you pulled the trigger
But before you did
The light grew bigger…..

And you thought of what it means
To give love and pray
To cuddle with a loved one
And anticipate a new day
