Analysis of The Dark



So here I am, All alone again,
The house is dark, The streets are dim,
I think of life, and what it means,
The things I've done, The things I've seen,
Life is amazing, and confusing at the same time,
And here I am, trying to fit it all into a silly little rhyme,
The truth is, you never know,
Just how the wayward winds will blow,
What will happen now or next,
 You've just got to do your best,
Don't waste your time with worrying,
You have to let those feelings go free,
Don't be afraid to be in the dark,
After all, you KNOW its not that hard,
Have faith in God, He'll lift you up,
Just stay strong, and don't EVER give up!!
