Lives In The Dark



Lives In The Dark..
It's Takes More Then Karma & Luck,
When Your Broken & Stuck.
Fallen Down More then Most,
You don't know me or my struggle,
Not Even Close.
My life has Just Been A Fight,
My Demon likes to Visit At Night.
It Will Take More Then You to Bring me down,
I'm Strongest when beaten down to the ground.
When pushed I Fight , I React,
I Find A Solution & Claw My Way Back.
You see my Entire life I have Fought Monsters Alone,
I'm Well Versed & Comfortable On My Own.
I Don't Have Friends or Family On Which I rely,
I Have No Fear & I look Those Monsters Directly  In The Eye.
I Must Feel That Pain To Be Able To Write,
That Pain lives in the Dark Not The Light.
It's A Part Of Who I am Now, Runs Deep Within My Veins,
I Reach Out To Others By Sharing This Pain.
Recently I Accepted The Reality,
That My Only  Chance Is Others Just Like me.
Only They Will Understand These Words I Speak.
My Message is Not For The Soft or The Meek.
My Words Are True From  A Damaged & Broken Heart,
I Could Save Someone Else Turning
My Pain Into Art..
