Dark Days

The mayhem dies out and silence dawns The enthusiastic cheers go out of the way Nothing at the moment seems to work The world is coming crashing down The clarity of the mind is lost The confidence stands shaken in the wind The darkest side of me knocks on And questioning my soul I find myself It’s dark dark dark very dark So dark that I feel the need to escape But here I am in the middle of things Trying to push in some more each day I can’t walk away for a while On return I’ll still be right here The times are testing the innermost How can I show my back in fear? I’ll face them – today, tomorrow and everyday I will try to put on that cover of smile I will stand tall and talk of revolution Fighting inside the deeper turmoil They are there – for me – all time They will not let me fall Good or bad – prized or cursed I will continue to live - As if it was just another day
