Darkness

by Marc Carlson   Dec 2, 2006


I continue on the path
The darkness continues to grow
It grows it places I was hoping for light
These places I expect darkness, nothing happens
But the places I hope to gain light, it eventually causes
Slamming in my face and causing a period of blindness
This blindness in when I can really see
I see that, there is no more for me
I can not gain a desire to achieve
I can not gain what I need
This is the final call

So I will continue for now
But with no desire for anything
I will not care, and will not love
This heart has had too much to contain for its years
I maybe 22, but my heart feels like 65
It has been kicked, battered, bruised, and most importantly broken
Broken in ways I'm not sure can heal
But now I'm not sure if I care if it can
I am done with this and the whole rest of it
So cheers to all of you who cared
And cheers to those of you who don't
