I'm darkness

I'm darkness

I'm a ghost of present and future,
a ghost of nothing and everything.
I'm a word that nobody wants to hear
and everybody needs to say.

This is the difference between being a hero
and dreaming about being one:
I'm a shadow of memories,
a shadow of past, regrets and lost.

But today I'm drowning, falling and breaking,
screaming, crushing and dying like never before.
Tonight I’m whispering to the silence:
“please, come and get me.
Please, turn off the sounds of chaos”.

They say. They lie. They hurt.
They try and I lose.
They laugh as I fight.
I run away as they watch.

I’m a story of tears and dreams,
a story of heavens and hells.
I’m a song the dead have to sing
and the living should never forget.

This is the difference between being here
and dreaming about being there:
I’m a reminder of mistakes,
a reminder of past, regrets and lost.

But tomorrow I’ll be floating, rising and breathing,
crying, sighing and living like ever after.
Then I’ll be shouting to the noise:
“please, come and get me.
Please, turn on the sounds of peace”.

They hush. They lie. They harm.
They laugh and I fight.
They try as I win.
I come back as they lose.
