The dark drags me down
Depression becomes an addiction
I hunger for despair,
I hunger for self-hatred,
I hunger for your tears
Too add them to my own

My pain is my own expression
I lost my pain in the dark
Light found me
Yet I am still addicted

I sunk to a new low
I stole pain from others
Adopting it as my own
I betrayed my morals
I allowed my peers to berate me
They fed my addiction
The dark was again with me

I sunk lower
Lower into the dark
To see untold levels
To feel levels of despair beyond
Levels where written word cannot exist
I became something possessed
The dark then came in doses

I was on a lower plain of reality
Thoughts of suicide came
Nothing happened
The thoughts then left
Cast out by the dark

I got lonely in the dark
Started seeking another dark soul
Found one
The dark turned to light
Found two, three, four
I remained paused at one
Hated the light
Smashed the bulb

Four wanted two to double up
Three never saw me leave
Two always tempts me
One is my existence

I found someone else in the dark
Comes with emotions, tears, and pain
I can now write again
Yet the rest is another story
