The Darkness

The Darkness

A Poem by Alfredo Sandoval

The night it's so cold and dark out
My life everyday I wonder about
The morning it's so cold and light
Another day I'm full of fright
The afternoon I feel cold inside
These emotions I hide
Somebody tapped my shoulder and I yelled as a response
Every day my demons fill my mind with their taunts
Why won't they stop and leave
Leave me alone to sulk and grieve
Why add insult to injury
Why why why I'm not ready to die I'm in no hurry
They want my soul to perish
The darkness they want me to cherish
I try to be happy not even for myself but for the sake of others
I make sure everybody is okay but when the tables are turned nobody bothers
Maybe the voices in my head aren't lying
Maybe it's okay for me to go to sleep crying
This pain is it worse than dying?
They got a crowbar at my soul they're prying
I tried to keep fighting
But now I'm done trying
