The thick, black veil
That conceals all else
Heavy over your eyes
So that light can not break thru.
Leaving no hope, nor joy
Nor future to believe in.
Your eyes are blind
Unable to see anything worthwhile.
In this darkness there is no peace
As there is when the darkness of night falls
Upon normal people and sleep comes
Bringing with it ease and comfort.
This darkness is there always,
And brings with it despair and unrest,
It is there even when your eyes are wide open
And the sun is shining on your face.
Nothing can stop it.
It makes everything promising seem impossible,
Everything joyful turn grim.
You can escape it for a time,
but it is still there waiting.
For the escape is only a cruel joke it plays.
For when the darkness returns, it will prove itself.
It is stronger than any other emotion.
It is despair.
