The Darkness Where I Sometimes Live Poem by Ray Hansell

There are times I know
When I’m not fun to be around
Those are the days
When I’m feeling really down

I know that there are people
Who just don’t understand
It seems they live their life
Most times in happy land

Some days just getting out of bed
By itself can be a task
Knowing that the day that lies ahead
Could possibly take forever to pass

The darkness that I’m in right now
Hopefully won’t last forever
I’m hoping somewhere down the road
Things do work out for the better

But who knows when that will be
Or if my wish will ever come true
The only thing that I can say
Is that I hope the darkness doesn’t get hold of you

At times life is a terrible place
This place where we all live
I try so hard but yet some days
I feel I’ve given all that I want to give
