Analysis of Darkness
In a valley of sorrow I stand
Tormented by my mind’s darkness – Endless
It is a darkness I cannot comprehend –
It surrounds, and surrounds me –
Until there is nothing left –
Helpless
Faceless
Yet, I am unafraid
This my darkness, I embrace
Unknown still
My battered soul, none to heal
