The Darkness Inside

There is a darkness inside
Me, you, everyone
We don't like to talk about it
But it's there
It connects us,
In a constant flow of understanding
We know when someone's eyes
Darken
We know when they tense
We know because we do it too
At least I know I do
There is a darkness inside
And there is no escaping it
It's just......there
Just like your heartbeat
Or the air in your lungs
It is a part of us all
