Chapter 4 - Darkness

I wander through the darkness avoiding the light,

I would like it darker when nothing's in sight.

Roam during the nightfall by the dawn I go hide,

Haven't trusted myself, never been on my own side.

Will never find me, it's dark enough to lose your vision,

Shadows became my permanent home for this very reason.

It's a place where darkness swallow the hopes and lights in the eyes.

Taking away the dreams and voices, left crying till silent sobs dies.

Sound of own breath making shiver hard,

And alive exploiting these fears: the dark lord.

Here I could wait till arrival of my death,

No one will ever know I too faced my faith.

Where the tears become a poison pernicious,

In absense of foresight the world seem vicious.

Chose this place to lose everything I possessed,

Shrugging off the responsibilities that kept me oppressed.

To hide from hope, everyday I put on a cold smile,

Forging this fake confidence also took me a while.

But the darkness is not all that bad as it seems,

As it shatters all the illusions and dazzlingly youth dreams.

Living here with no sense of security built me fearless,

Well calculated mistakes disguised as being careless.

It made me strong enough to acknowledge my flaws.

Taught me to hunt down enemies by lending me it's claws.
