The Darkness

The saddness and darkness,
It encompasses me.
It wants my soul, my life
All that makes me be.

I cannot run.
I cannot hide.
It begins to take over
Slowly, deep inside.

Piece by piece,
Bit by miserable bit
The light fades
And the darkness succeeds.

The days grow drearier
The light gets dimmer
Till day and night
Are not two but one.

The darkness has taken over.
The light is no more.
I must try to live on,
Not let the darkness say it's won.

I try my best
But fail to succeed.
The darkness has won.
It has taken over me.
