The color black is every where,
It’s all that I can see.
It surrounds my heart and my soul,
It’s all that I can be.
I’m undeserving of color,
Death is all around.
My soul is black and tired,
I cannot make a sound.
Black’s the color of silence,
Darkness and defeat.
A reminder of useless memories,
A disease I cannot beat.
The color black consumes my life,
It makes me say goodbye.
It hides away the answers,
And makes me wonder why?
Black’s what represents my life,
It’s all I’ve ever known.
It hides the pain I always feel,
Never to be shown.
Black is how I feel today,
It’s who I’ll always be.
It’s what prevents me from showing myself,
I know I’ll never be free.
I cling to desperate memories
that’s all it seems is there
I don’t know where the others went
I don’t know if they care
All I loved has disappeared
Drifted far away
All that’s left is these memories
I’m praying that they stay
Memories are all I have
But some I wish weren’t there
The ones that tell me I’m nothing
The ones that just don’t care
The memories make me feel complete
They give me reason to be
But the misery it hides itself
And this I cannot see
The memories they linger still
Always in my head
Forever saying who I was
And filling me with dread
This is all that’s left of me
The memories that remain
Driving me gradually
Making me insane
All that’s left is darkness
Shadows in my head
Bringing on insanity
Wishing I was dead
Darkness is the foundations
The comfort and the pain
Nothing left for me to lose
But nothing left to gain
Darkness takes me to a place
I no longer want to be
Bringing to light these questions
But answers I cannot see
Darkness tells me who I am
And helps me hide away
Taking away my soul
Not knowing what to say
I tell myself that this is it
Its all there’ll ever be
Darkness is all there is
This darkness… this is me
