Duplicity

Shadows swirl around threatening to drown me.

How can this be happening, how can this be?

I know the truth, I have seen the Light!

Why then do I struggle against the ominous night?

Is there some unknown duplicity?

Could it perhaps be me?

Do I betray myself to this ghastly midnight?

Am I the cause of this unrelenting fight?
