DARKNESS.

Darkness waiting before I was born

Absence wrapping around my first breath

Room silent but heavy with fate

Knowledge hidden behind every shadow

Night claiming pieces of my innocence

Eyes learning to see without light

Soul drifting through unknown spaces

Silence becoming my closest companion

Darkness teaching me what fear is

Darkness teaching me what strength is

Darkness teaching me who survives

Darkness teaching me who disappears

Cold living inside my reflection

Truth moving beneath the surface

Pain whispering familiar lies

Time slowing inside the void

Memories losing their warmth

Faith losing its direction

Hope flickering without oxygen

Name echoing without answer

I walked deeper without resistance

I walked deeper without protection

I walked deeper without certainty

I walked deeper without light

But darkness showed me my core

But darkness removed every mask

But darkness burned away illusion

But darkness burned away illusion

But darkness revealed my violence

Now I stand inside the night

Now I stand without fear

Now I stand without hiding

Now I stand as darkness

Now I stand as darkness

Now I stand as darkness
