I feel it near me, yet I can?t see, hear, or touch it.
I?ve been in hiding for a while, trying to find a way to not let it get to me.
I never wanted to hide, but everyone else told me the darkness was a bad thing, I shouldn?t get involved.
But ever so often, I hear it calling my name.
I know I should resist, but it keeps telling me to give in.
It?s destroying me inside.
I was warned that it would tear my soul apart.
I didn?t know how badly.
I don?t want to be afraid anymore.
But I also don?t want to be hurt.
I feel its presence coming closer to me.
I have to make the decision.
Will I let the darkness be my friend or my enemy?
Should I surrender myself and everything I am?
Can I let go of the past and let the darkness become my destiny?
If I choose to embrace the darkness, all I ask is for it to embrace me back.
