Dark Circles

It's been a long time since I've tried my hand at poetry/lyrics. So here's a little something.

Dark Circles




It’s hard to see the silver lining

When you’re blinded by the gray

Hard to harness the pining

When it haunts you everyday



Dark circles surround me

You think you break away

Then they drag you back in

Fight your way out

Then they circle around again

And drag you back in



Faith, hope and love are fine

If you can make it through the day

But the darkness is always lurking

And it’s hard to push it away



Dark circles surround me

You think you break away

Then they drag you back in

Fight your way out

Then they circle around again

And drag you back in



The world keeps moving around me

But I feel still

Unmoving, stagnant, ill

Try to make it better

But they just try to give you a pill



Try to shrug it off with a smile

Happy thoughts and a forced grin

But it only lasts for awhile

Before the black still tries to win



Dark circles surround me

You think you break away

Then they drag you back in

Fight your way out

Then they circle around again

And drag you back in
