Lost in the Dark

I'm just a girl who is trying to find the answers. Lost in the dark wanting to find the light, but I'm not alone here. Something is in the dark with me, something painful, sad, and depressing. He goes by the name of Misery. Every-time I find a spark of light, Misery comes and drags me deeper into the dark. Keeping me as his prisoner, I'm trapped. Never to step into the light of happiness. I wallow up in my own ball of sorrow. Questioning myself "Am I good enough? Was I ever meant to be happy?" He would always answer "No." Reaching my hand out for help I see no one reaching back, so I pull back my hand. As I stay lost in the dark with no one to call my own. Misery is here to give me company. He has me convince that we were meant to be together, but something is telling me different. My mind might be convinced, but my heart is still fighting to find true love and happiness. So I give it another shot. Trying to find the light, I see it! As I run to it, he tripped me. Pulling me back once more, he asked me "Why don't you just give up? Why don't you want to be with me?" As I'm being pulled away, the light becomes smaller. As I'm being pulled away farther and farther away my heart is starting to give up. As my heart gives up, I lose hope. Finally I give into Misery and accept my place in the darkness.
