“Fighting this War Alone” - Larkism

A little bit about me and my past with Inspiration and theme from the Xbox Series "Alan Wake" ~

 
I was once a normal guy, just like you; then it happened.
For years I went on thinking everything was okay,
but that quickly came to an end,
I was sure it couldn't be for long;
Oh How I was wrong.
Darkness Enveloped me, took the things I loved;
the things I needed.
I couldn't continue on without these things,
I fought for them:
I failed.
I failed but I managed to let them go,
they were safer away from me.
I gave up, wandered and cried away the eternal night.
A small spark remained, pushing me on;
keeping me Awake.
I managed to overcome my doubts,
push them away and stand in realization;
I could fight this, fight the darkness. Win...
I sat back down, and turned the tumbler;
the page fell to the floor and a new one inserted.
A new beginning, a chance to survive;
a Departure ; from the old to the new.
Fighting this War Alone.
