The darkest hour is upon me
The voices make me trapped, I can't be free
It makes me feel so very alone
It is the worst I've ever known

But it's not from anyone on the outside
It's all from the inside!

My thoughts just drown me
In self-loathing and despair
I need help, this I swear!
It makes me lonely
It makes me feel so alone
Can't do this on my own!
My darkest hour is all within me

The darkest hour is upon me
The pitch-black darkness is all I see
It's like a poison, it just decays
It rots my mind and soul, limits my days

Pre-Chorus x1

Chorus x1

Instrumental

Chorus x1

Oh, oh
My darkest hour is all within me
I'll fight on, I'll fight on
To conquer my darkest hour and just be free
Hey guys! I finally was in the song-writing mood! :D Well...it's kinda an emotional song so I shouldn't be that happy, but, you gotta find the positives in life sometimes! :3
So this is my submission to Poetry4All's Contest, The Darkest Hour, which is an anti-bullying theme.
I'll explain how I relate to it and more in the meaning section so feel free to scroll down for it
See ya later!

--------------------------------------------


By the way: (Don't count Chorus x1s, Pre-Chorus x1, and Instrumental as lines!)
Verse 1 is lines 1-4
Pre-Chorus is lines 5-6
Chorus is lines 7-13
Verse 2 is lines 14-17
End is lines 18-21

------------------------------------------------

So the meaning of this is bullying, but more of internal bullying, which is what I mostly went through, and am going through right now. I never was bullied from the 'outside' since, even if people did, I was oblivious to it and never paid attention to it, really
All mine is internal, basially myself putting myself down, saying I'll be alone forever, which is my worst fear including the dark, and saying I won't have friends and I'll never fit in anywhere.
Which sucks. 
I have made some friends where I'm at, but I just feel some times that I don't fit in with them and that I don't belong. It's kinda a bad feeling and it prevents me from talking more/being more social which just fuels the 'voices' more.
It's not so much anti-bullying, but raising awareness for internal/mental/self-bullying that most people don't talk about. Like, all I ever hear is people bullying others, not so much people bullying themselves really. And I know I'm not alone and that others feel the same and struggle with it like me. So I wanted to help prevent that by showing those people that, despite it not being talked about, that other people experience it too, even people being bullied by outside forces and others not bullied by anyone but themselves, like me, and then try to support each other and be each other's friends, which would help mine so much really. And if I get out of it, I will be more social and maybe gain an outside riend or two to eat out with xD But I'm good for now. Sooner or later, that 'fitting in' feeling will go away and I might talk more to my new friends. Hopefully.
Anyways, just know that you are not alone. Regardless of what kind of bullying you are going through. Just fight on and never give up.
