The Midnight in Me

It used to be so simple
It was a world I understood.
I didn’t know what I didn’t know and life seemed pretty good.
But now the darkness rises from somewhere deep inside of me.
Her power overtakes me.
Can I keep this midnight from getting free?
If I can can stay with the light, I know I’ll be free!
And I can start to behold, I can start to be me!
But instead I’m struggling with all that I see.
And these friends mustn’t see the midnight in me!
The midnight in me!
They mustn’t see the midnight in me…
