The Shadow Within

Trying to stay positive can sometimes be hard to do.

Especially when there are times life has given up on you.

The light that was once shining is all but a blur in the dark.

As it shadows around me and brands a heavy mark.

Sometimes the abyss looks be in the eye, as it lures me to its depth.

Sucking any hopes of tomorrow, or anything inside I have left.

It is hard to find reasons to glow right again.

It feels like a hopeless battle, that will someday my life with it end.

It pierces me to the point I am but a memory of myself and a life I had before.

How do I hold strong against its strength, when sometimes the light seems brighter on the other side of the door?
