There is but one place in the universe that I am able to block out the personal darkness
that one and only place is just too painful a location in which to stay and just be a nothing
they at this one place in the universe, do not know, and if they do they do not care
For every day the personal darkness takes more and more from my personal space
soon very soon there will be nothing left of me and only the personal darkness will remain.
will anyone notice?
will anyone care?
shall the world just allow the darkness to overcome like a batch of weeds
like a batch of weeds overtaking the garden
slowly sucking the living the life the existence
soon there will be no bloom
no blossoms will wish to resume
will anyone save me?
will anyone be my white knight?
the personal darkness has made all in my path
black as black as the moonless sky
as black as the coal residing in the mine
as black as the rose of death just biding time
soon even the blackness will be overgrown
is there an end to the personal darkness?
who can tell me? who would notice?
if it all ended right now? tonight? or even at the edge of midnight’s moonlight
perhaps the time has come
to stop the fight to stop the light
maybe the time is near to allow the darkness to appear
to live, to blossom, to grow with all of what is nature
goodbye personal light
hello personal darkness
go ahead take what you might take all you will
I surrender I give up
hello personal darkness
your life has officially begun
