The Eyes of Darkness

What a day it is, when your staring at the sun, but only see darkness.
Is it because you want to see the dark, or because that's all you've known?
The sun's shine is intended to bring light into your life, while you reject it.

How do you tell someone their soul is so dark, that even the sun can't shine through?
The corruption, the unsatisfaction that the world brings, created this.
The fact that you let it seep right through your skin, into you.

While, it grows into shapes, latching onto you inside of your body.
You only see the darkness, the evil inside of everyone, nothing else.
The world spins around, but all you can think about is the hate and greed.

Nobody is perfect, everyone is flawed, so stop seeing through people.
People can change, the world can change, only with great effort.
So, give these people a chance, the world will end when it is right.

So, take my hand let me be free. Finally free, from this mess I have been.
No longer shaped into an evil creature, I can now finally see the light.
It has been calling me all along, where I belong, where the love and hope is.

So, I will take this journey, away from the eyes of darkness, away,
into the sky, into the light, where the world spins in a positive way.
I will stay here, I will mend, and continue to shape for the better.
