In the Dark

In the Dark
I stay in the dark
to avoid any light.
I cannot see people
as part of my plight.
I run from the world
and all that is good
to stay in the dark
and do nothing I should.

Away from reality,
in only despair.
I am all alone.
I just want someone to care.
the darkness is empty,
yet here I stay,
avoiding all light
for another long day.

Still I have nothing,
as this day passes to night,
no one will care
if I never see light.
The days can be tough,
but the nights bring no rest.
As I sit here alone
my mind is put through the test.

I think of my life
and what I could change.
Where did I go wrong?
How did I become so strange?
I destroyed all my hope
and crushed very dream.
With that single thought
I lost my bright gleam.
There is no returning
from this fatal dark.
It has made me vulnerable,
as a tree with no bark.
My life is now over,
I have no one that cares,
yet I will stay in the dark
to avoid all their stares.
