I am nothing today to you
Less than nothing even
You packed your bags
And ran out the door
To leave me alone
In the dark and cold
You thought I was less
That was a mistake
I am more than you know
Than you ever will know
I am a rare treasure
I can say this as truth
I do not brag
You threw me away
Like common trash
I picked myself up
And dusted me off
I mended the wounds
And prepared to set back out
Into the world I abandoned
All those years ago
I still carry with me
The darkness of my heart
With this little prize
I shall never part
It is what I am
A gothic to the bone
I shall not let up
Not even for love
I am who I am
I believe what I believe
Nothing will change me
Unless I decide so myself
I am not a fool
To be guided around by my nose
Contrary to your popular belief
I am an individual
And have a brain and a soul
I shall do what I want
And if I choose to to that
Then I shall
I am Darkness
Hear my words ring true
They tell of my pain
And so much more
She tried to tell me
So very long ago
I would not listen
She is wrong
About fate and the like
At least, she was wrong about us.
