Darkness Creeping
Turn around! See the pain, see the anger, feel the hate.
Where have I taken the wrong turn?
Screaming at the top of my voice you still don’t hear me!
Running I feel all the eyes of hate on me.
The hate the lies close in on me,
With ever step I take it take ten.
I feel its breath in my neck with a twisted smile on its face.
I feel anger rise in my throat, I swallow it back.
Hear me! Darkness keeps creeping in.
Hear me as I scream when darkness swallow me whole.
Hear me as I scream when the darkness start eating at my live flesh. Feelings numb as the pain grow and my screams fade.
I do not matter to you!
Running through a maze of empty dark hallways you keep running your words, twisted truth of the pieces that think you saw of me.
With every turn my legs get weaker,
With every scream my voice fades away.
Hallways turn darker as I keep running from the hate, the lies, and betrayal.
It keeps creeping closer as I stumble and fall once again.
Blind and deaf you are to my torture and my agonizing screams.
Hear me! Darkness keeps creeping in.
Hear me as I scream when darkness swallow me whole.
Hear me as I scream when the darkness start eating at my live flesh.
Feelings numb as the pain grow and my screams fade.
I do not matter to you!
I fall to the cold granite floor at the center of it all, a hallow space where the darkness gather.
I lift myself only to see one hundred hallways fill with darkness.
Trapped at its centre my last scream fades away.
Numbing pain engulf me as the darkness trap me in my own timeless prison.
Hear me! Darkness crept in.
Hear me; darkness swallowed me whole.
Hear me; darkness is eating at my flesh.
Numbing pain has taken over and my screams have faded.
I never existed to you!

The world that surrounds us seem to be covered in a veil of darkness, all eyes are shut to the bright light that is shining on us. Every one trapped in their own dark world, unseeing of the pain they cause to the ones they love. And at the centre of each one’s dark lonely world a pedestal, each with the earthly thing on he or she wants most in life or even placing themselves on that pedestal, not seeing the shadows it casts over their lives. Each broken heart a result of the blinding dark veil we have covered ourselves in.
Psalms 27 verse 1-6
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; I will fear no one. The Lord protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid. When evil people attack me and try to kill me, they stumble and fall. Even if a whole army surrounds me, I will not be afraid; even if enemies attack me, I will still trust God. I have asked the Lord for one thing; one thing only do I want: to live in the Lord’s house all my life, to marvel there at his goodness, and ask for his guidance. In times of trouble he will shelter me; he will keep me save in his Temple and make me secure on a high rock. So I will triumph over my enemies around me. With shout of joy I will offer sacrifices in his Temple; I will sing, I will praise the Lord.”
The first few words are the most relevant. “The Lord is my light…” In this dark world He is the only light that can guide us from our fears, our lies, our deception, and our desperate obsession with ourselves.
We humbly stand before you Lord and beg you to grant us mercy. We have weakly fallen into our own deception. Forgive us the wrong we have done to others. Free us from the darkness that binds us for you are our only true light. Exalted is the name of our Lord! Amen
