The Night

What makes the night so dark
when the light shines so bright?
What makes my soul tremble
when I have everything in sight?
When I fear and worry, it
seems that there is no place to run.
When I do my best to find a solution,
I am still no closer to an end.
The darkness seems not to end.
I am wondering what I did wrong
to be in this darkness and
despair that follows me everywhere.
Even though I do my best,
I am still sinking more and more
into the forever night.
Down, down I go not knowing were
I will end up. Will it hurt when I stop?
Will there be a monster to eat me up?
I am all alone in the void of the night.
Time has past not knowing how long.
Will I ever see the light? To early to
tell. So hard to see. If only I had a
little light so I can breath.
How long have I been in this darkness?
How long have I been in this despair?
I fear that it will never end.
Does anyone know that I am here?
Does anyone even care?
For the time that I have been away,
does anyone remember me anyway?
