THIS DARK PLACE

This dark place is hard

Some days, it feels easy

Today isn’t one of those days

 

This dark place is hard.

I know dark places are…hard (that’s why they are so called)

Can this one be a little forgiving, please?

 

This dark place is hard.

And I probably deserve it,

But isn’t it enough, already?

 

This dark place is hard

I’m doing everything I can,

Let me go…maybe the sun misses my face

 

This dark place is hard

There’s chaos in the silence

It’s so chaotic. It's so noisy

 

This dark place is hard.

I know I come from a rough place,

But sometimes, rough is easier than dark.

 

This dark place is hard

There’s no strength, and no courage

There’s no you, and there’s no me either.

 

This dark place is hard.

And I can’t keep this up for long.

Turn on the lights and show me the exit.

 

This dark place is hard

On some days, it feels easy

Today is not one of those days.
