THE DARKNESS WITHINI’ve seen the darkness withinI’ve seen the darkness that makes you sinI’ve seen the darkness, I know it wellI’ve seen the darkness on the road to hellWhen you’re in the darkness within, there’s no need to fightthe darkness is like quicksand, the more you struggle, the more it holds you tightwhen the darkness surrounds you and you want to take flightthe only way to freedom is to look for the lightThere is a beast in the darkness within and he sits high on a perchwhile below his children run and jump at you in a lurchthey feed off your fears and desiresthey bask in the flames of your emotional firesThe darkness within will devour your fire with all it’s heat and lightuntil it consumes all your hopes and dreams and fightIn the darkness within there is no pain, only dullness with every breathbecause pain would be a sign of life and all you seek now is deathYou must kill the demon and bid it adieubefore it smothers your soul and there is no more youYou must stop the demon deep in the darkness withinbecause if the demon wins, for your it’s the endIn the darkness within, you must find the love you once breathed like the airyou must regain your passion that you know has always been thereWith this you can kill the demon that’s deep in the darkbecause the love in your heart will tear him apartWith the sword of your passion you can drain all his fightwith this shining blade, you can cut through the darkness within and let in the lightLet the light shine bright and energize you soulto never ever be in the darkness within should always be your goalI have seen the darkness withinso listen and learn from someone who’s beenNever let go of your loves and your passions my friendkeep your light shining bright and stay away from the darkness withinSTANLEY HENDRIX8/13/2008(I'm just sharing my poems) I have more poems in my blog (Please Fan Me)
