You stare through me as if you’ve lost your sight
Standing there discomfited by the twilight
The shadows grow deeper and coalesce into one
I stand here not knowing what needs to be done
You use the light to keep the darkness at bay
Yet you’re scared to walk in the full light of day
A gothic romance that plays itself out
Leaving you there so full of doubts
You’re scared to face your fears
So they’ve grown over the years
An ominous picture has been created
While you lay there feeling desecrated
Spun round in circles never to break free
Will you spin round indefinitely?
Realize there is beauty that is not seen
Even in the most hideous and unclean
Search within and find the strength you hold dear
Where it waits invisible behind your tears
Step forward and break this cycle so vicious
For this your reward will be most delicious
Step out of the darkness into the light
Fix this malignancy within your sight
Don’t allow yourself to be a victim any longer
For confronting your fears just makes you stronger
