My Darkness

I know the darkness of my plight
It's been with me most of my life
Visions that got the best of me
That made decisions because I believed
This is the journey that has made my life
In darkness I lived I tried to survive
Reckless at times Was tempted by many
Tried to do right by my life Couldn't find any
A destructive path I laid
My life A game being played
But alas My heart grew stronger
A puppet to the darkness no longer
I want to live and seek the Light
I'll continue to fight the good fight
The darkness won't let me be
It's got a hold and makes me bleed
Taking what life there is in me
It clouds my thoughts Makes it hard to see
Why I'm thankful having you in my life
You help guide me providing light
But in the crosshairs I am
From dark to light I dance
There is no true side of me
So I share hope you'll help me believe
