In Darkness

In the darkness it’s hard to sometimes see,

What it is I’m even chasing.

Through hazy thoughts that 

Cloud my vision and block the light,

I wonder why I am still running so hard.

In the darkness it’s hard to hear,

The voices around me,

Telling me that it will be “ok”

Because around me is a thunderstorm,

And I can no longer hear the calm.

When you’re in the darkness it’s sometimes hard to feel,

Like there is hope at the end of the tunnel,

Hard to feel like things will change,

Because in the darkness there is nothing,

So it's hard to feel anything at all.

Sometimes, it’s hard to know that you’re in darkness

Until you’re already stuck there,

Because you don’t know the light you can’t see,

And you don’t know the warmth

Because in here the sun doesn’t shine,

And emptiness fills every void.

It’s hard to escape this darkness,

Because often it feels all-consuming.

But sometimes it’s just your eyes that need readjusting,

And you realize that the darkness 

Isn’t really around but inside of you,

And sometimes just that small beam of knowledge,

A flicker of light in a swirling black hole,

Is all it takes to make your escape

And slowly gain your sight back.
