Dark
It's like trying to coat the night sky in sparkling jewels
Reenacting the sunsplashed daytime
I collect the budding night lights
Before I am defenseless in the silence
I take the joke in math class
A few smiles passed around in the hallways
Even that tap on the shoulder
I tuck them into my pocket and in the darkness they grow
Their positive energy multiplied
But it's not enough to smooth over the dark spots
At the end of the day with soft, warm glittering
When I lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord, my soul to keep
The black seeps through
Soaking into my dreams and staining my pillow case
Will it ever cease?
