Analysis of Darkness enters



Darkness enters
when you least expect it.
Darkness sweeps in
even though you built walls.
Darkness always finds its way
to the void that's deep inside.
Darkness tells lies
and fills your head with broken promises.
Darkness smothers you
till you feel deaths fingertips.
Darkness brings demons
that terrorize you inside.
Darkness brings tears
and overwhelming fears.
Darkness however
can be turned into light.
If you let it.
