Hello Darkness, my old friend, won't you come inside?

Sit an chat a moment, embrace me, maybe help me hide?


These worries and concerns are getting heavier day by day.

And dragging me down to a place I knew and I do not want to stay.


Many fear your presences. The emptiness they say you hold.

While others fear the Evil of a lightless world, or so I'm Told.


But I fear none of these, for the truth I have learned.

For the darkness they fear is that of their own souls being turned.


So, No, Friend, I don't fear you or the comfort that you give.

In fact I am grateful for the solitude in which you live.


You wrap yourself around me, engulf me with your peace.

A blessed pitch black, where my nightmares can ceases.


Within you I don't have to be so strong, I can let my emotions go.

Let the walls fall a bit, let the facade crack and let the tears flow.


And it may sound strange to those that do not know.

But with out you Darkness there can be no light to glow.


So let it be known that Darkness is not wicked nor is it scary.

It is what it is, a safe haven for the weary.
