Others look beyond the storm clouds to see the rainbow.
I see more rain.
It might be a matter of perspective,
It might be this darkness in my brain.
A void I cannot share,
Unless I want to let everything go.
We all have places inside, that no one ever knows,
but my Darkness is in a league all its own.
I don’t see in color; I live in shades of gray.
I don’t look forward to tomorrow -
I awake thinking only, “come what may.”
Head on, I’m driving head on into the night
The sun has set and taken away my light
Can’t turn around on this one-way street
Forced to face the challenges I’ll meet
On the other side, I don’t know what I will find -
I’m charging head on, rushing blind.
Finding the light in lightning,
Feeling the rain drown today away.
Don’t know what tomorrow brings.
Compelled forward,
but I can’t surrender my Darkness.
It’s my truth to hold, a truth you’ll never behold.
I’ve gotta face it head on.
