Write an elegy centered around the following words:

Darkness

An elegy is a poem that reflects upon death or mourning. They commonly have themes of sorrow and loss, but also explore redemption and consolation.
A Collect Call From Home
I was your hope but I let you down
No remorse as they laid you down
So much more I could have done
My Lord knows I should have done
The answers escape me once again
Overwhelmed by indecision once again
I rose today expecting change
I sleep tonight expecting change
Will I wake the man they hoped for
Or with the peace I always hoped for
Leaving the darkness behind me
Never again looking behind me
Redemption can’t be earned, just accepted
This life was given to me, I just accepted
