My Dark Room

I live in a dark room
Where my pain surrounds me.
It's filled with discouragement and gloom
And I'm obviously unhappy.

In this room I have hid,
In this room I have cried.
In this room I am nothing,
In this room I've got no pride.

My room has suffered with me
And darkened with me
For there is no light,
Just like my life.

In my dark room,
The air I breathe
Is the pain that fills my body,
And it engulfs my self-esteem.

My dark room is filled with secrets,
Broken promises and hurtful words.
But my dark room is all I trust
Because it never tells a word.

My dark room knows the truth and the lies,
My dark room hears the cries every night.
My walls are filled with dried-up blood,
My dark room fills my tears that flood.

My dark room hears my screams,
It is always as it seems.
My dark room never changes its mind,
My dark room always has time and is easy to find.

My dark room sent me monsters when I was a child,
But it always scared them away.
My dark room increased my pain,
But it always saved me from the rain.

My dark room is the only thing that's always been there
And it will always be.
My dark room is the only thing that cared
And it's the only thing that knows the real me.

Thank you,
My dark room,
For always being there,
And for staying true to me.
