Humans that succumb to darkness enter blindly into despair
They walk blindly to their demise
Leaving sadness and depression in their footprints, for those that follow
Staring blankly at the spiral that is their life
Hearing no warnings from loved ones
No longer feeling the coldness emanating from the dark
Ignoring the voice inside their hearts
The voice that evolved from whispers of guidance to screams of utter panic
Their open eyes seeing nothing at all
Constantly walking through the darkness
Never stopping for the chance to see the light
Walking…walking……walking
Until the day a hero stands in their way and shines so brightly
The darkness fades and they are left looking at where they are
A place far from where they began at
Seeing how their blindness has torn their life into shambles
Searching for a way to recreate their past
Not able to live in the place they are, not able to return things to how they once were
They look back and their mind is clear
They hear the whispers and screams of that little voice
They can now hear what was said to them
What they would’ve seen had it not been for the darkness
Tears roll down their cheeks for all that has been lost
All vowing to be that light in the dark
To fight for those that cannot see, and stop the dark from consuming lives.
