Light of Darkness

I walk down my path of life,
Full of endless darkness and strife.
I see a beacon of light signal for me,
Trying to break me from the dark, to set me free.
I envision a world free of suffering and pain.
I see a world free from this dark plane.
The light burns like the eternal light of salvation,
Guiding me out of this horrid damnation.
My heart, filled now with hope and glee,
And then full of hurt and animosity.
I now see the truth that the light does hide.
All the light will do is fill me with false pride.
I would rather walk down my chosen path of gloom,
Instead of forever resting in my deathly tomb.
