Dark Voices

Darkness canvasses my mind like a carpet of black Blanking out my minds eye, sight I suddenly lack The ghosts of my past crawl from the depths to haunt Pain I had unfelt for so long again begin to taunt Naked before myself and all protection unveiled I thought I had dealt with them and new life prevailed Like a splintered bough I fall away and crash apart Falling into that deep dark hole where it all did start The hell within starts to burn my very soul to ashes The dark feelings to all my hopes and dreams it smashes Again I’m resigning myself to my inward fate And Ill go and hide away with my self hate All alone by myself, nothing to do nowhere to go Just destined to the dark corners of my life I know I’m happy there being unhappy, an oxymoron if you will And no-one to get hurt there, no blood will spill In my darkened room shadowed with the darkest shades of black No one there to hear these whispering fears or see my bitter tears. Voices that only I can hear flood my mind with all my darkest fears. The cries of the dark never cease, these scary voices won't leave me in peace.
