I keep beating myself down.
Constantly playing with negative thoughts.
Endlessly watching my confidence fade away.

Darkness fills my heart, an evil so fearful.
As it expands and expands in my mind,
And whispers of despair echo with every ache.

Feeding bitter taste of lies and sorrow,
That I wish they were gone.
Each and every one of them.

Once the darkness departs,
My beloved light claims its rightful place,
Soothing my heart, transferring back its warmness.

Falling into the trap, the darkness comes back.
Sucking in all my energy,
Leaving me hopeless, once again.

The light tries to take down the wall,
A large wall set up by the darkness.
Yet the darkness echoes through the cracks.

The darkness haunts me when I am weak,
And laughs when I cry.
Leaving me blue, like a gray cloud on a stormy night.

And my dear friend the light still tries to offer me condolence.
Patting my back when I lower my shoulders,
Collecting each tear and embracing them with warmth.

But no matter how hard it tries,
The darkness comes back, overpowering the light.
As it curses words into my soul, driving me to torment myself.
