pain is all i crave
never looked at myself this way
can’t believe i say these things
thus begins Dark Days
my life is like a play
people watch me on a stage
no one cares what i say
living in Dark Days
i cannot find away
to say the things i want to say
to lose these insecurities i pray
cannot escape Dark Days
all i can do is try to save
myself from their gaze
exit from center stage
whither away from Dark Days
finding an end of the maze
no longer trapped within the haze
finally free of the shame
thus ending Dark Days
