Writings By Me

The darkness in me

Rarely shows its face

I’ve shoved it way down

Deep inside

I tuck it in, throw layers on top

I pile them high

So high you would think

This darkness could never escape

Some days, it creeps up slowly

Little by little

Trying to reach the surface

Let out it’s deep roar

But I shove it back down some more

More difficult each time

One day, it will take over

The light will come out

Leaving room to spread

The darkness across

Each layer in my head
