A Darkness

There is a darkness surrounding me Through it I just can't see, Who are my friends and who is my foe Which way should I turn and go. I cannot see clearly ahead Is there a calmness, or is there dread, Will I be stopped by a door or by a wall Or instead, will I just trip and fall. I hear voices that keep beaconing my name Being a friend they all do claim, But, I don't know who that they are Because of this darkness, I can't see that far. Many times I had kept my eyes tightly closed When I should of kept them opened I supposed, Ones I loved then done me very wrong I then went spiritually blind for so very long. Now I am not at all feeling that well Seems like though I am stuck in a living hell, If I could only see through the darkness As I take advantage of this starkness. My mind is now becoming so very cloudy My thoughts are also becoming rowdy, I really don't know where I should be There is a darkness surrounding me. Randy L. McClave
