Darkness

You would never know it the constant pain I feel because in the light of day it almost isn’t real.

Sure I’ll play, I’ll laugh, I’ll sing some songs but that pain is always lurking because it’s been here all along.

And when the darkness comes with it’s all-consuming power it slowly takes my soul hour by dreadful hour.

But they tell me that I’m strong enough they swear that it gets better , they say “if you can just hold out and bear this stormy weather.”

They tell me “you will be happy one day all you need do is fight” but what they seem to forget is after each day comes a night.

And so I act along, I play my part while this crushing darkness slowly breaks my heart.
