Darkness

I saw the darkness swirling around me
Jeering at me
Taunting me
Trying to make me give in
But I stood tall
Not wanting to fall
Trying not to give in
I stood my ground
Kept my head held high
Showing darkness how strong I really am

But the darkness was persistant
Day after day
It was slowly wearing me down
Wanting to take me as its prisoner
I was slowly losing faith
Slowly giving in
Nobody would come to my rescue
So who would care if I fought anymore
So was it really worth the pain

So I decided
The pain was no longer bearable
So I fell to my knees
And finally gave in.
