I've fallen down and will not rise
Lest I be shot down with brutality.
I shall hide in my safe dark hole
Letting the world pass me by.
Let them do as they please
For I will not be a part of that.
The light may be bright,
But it burns my violet eyes.
It is a cold light that I have met with.
The reality I found outside my walls
Is a harsh and heartless one
Those who walk upon the earth have forgotten Her.
They ignore Her and rape Her.
They destroy Her.
I will not be a part of that.
So I will stay as I am-in my dark hole.
Wrapped in my shroud of black,
A cold comfort I have grown to love.
The happiness of you is not meant for me.
I am the anti-thesis.
The one who lives as you do not.
I am your sadness,
So you can have happiness.
I am your violence
So you may have peace.
I am the darkness of your light.
I am the hatred
So you can love
I am the fear
For your security.
I accept you unto me,
And take your pains away.
I take them unto myself,
And you can live again.
So go!
Return from whence you came.
Turn thy back and ne'er return
For I have taken you unto me
And shall forever here be.
