The Darkside

by Lestat   Jun 2, 2006


You are born to this Earth with a heart and soul,
You battle all your life to keep from the black hole.
The voices in your head get stronger and stronger,
Your thoughts get cloudy; you can not take it much longer.
You begin a fight you know you can not win,
You will sacrifice your life to save your next of kin.
People all around you are so full of hope,
They tell you to be happy and just try and cope.
You think you are hopeless no matter how hard you try,
Has your time come? Is it time to die?
They offer their ear, their time, and love,
Can it be, Can it be a sign from above?
Your life is in your hands, to be taken at will,
With a single shot, your blood shall spill.
You have been thru a lot, you have felt so much pain,
You struggle on and on, just to keep sane.
You say to yourself, "It all must be a lie!",
Nobody cares, Why should they? Why?
To each you have hurt, you have made a mistake,
The love and concern they offer, you can not take.
Instead you choose to start a new game,
But as always the end result is the same.
You choose to live day by day,
Will you be around tomorrow? will you stay?
Out of nowhere there appears a hand,
Will you grab it and be off to a better land?
Or do you choose to remain and fight another day?
Things will get better, that is what they all say.
You must make a choice, you must make it now,
You can not run away, no way no how.
Will you give up all hope for tomorrow?
Is your life destined to be full of despair and sorrow?
Or do you choose to take the outstretched hand,
Take it, and your off to a better land.
The choice you must make, there is no place to hide,
Will you be the next to join THE DARKSIDE?
