Darkness Poem by bobby kramer jr.

Darkness, will enslave your soul
if you let it in
taking over everything,
living your life from within.
this darkness that I am living
was because no one was ever there
I was always vulnerable,
and never was aware.
this darkness eased its way in,
without me even knowing
as time was starting to pass,
this darkness started showing.
from the pain inside my heart,
to the emptiness in my eyes
I no longer have a smile
and my soul always cries.
I'm fighting with everything I got
to take it all away
everytime, I get the chance
I get on my knees and pray.
I don't want to be this person
this darkness isn't me
I lose myself every single day
but no one notices except me.
I have to do this on my own
and fight this all away
suffering is not optional
in my heart, this darkness cannot stay.
