Darkness

Poverty, tragedy, and death are here.
What is the cause of this massive distress?
The sky is dark black as I hide in fear.
I am adorned in a dark evening dress.
When will light shine on my sorrowful home?
Darkness enters my cold, death-ridden heart.
Will I be forced to wander all alone?
Why does everyone I love want to part?
Who will love me in the state that I'm in?
Nothing seems possible for me this night.
I feel ugly and deformed from within.
They say that I'm a great friend and I'm bright.
I'm sick of people saying I'm just nice.
I feel as cold and as dreary as ice.
