A Story of Dark Reality

Express In Ten Lines-Contest - Prompt for Round 5 - A Story of Dark Reality

It's a commonality, a story of dark reality.
Once you've gotten there, it will
wear your energy down. It will drown out
Your ability to manage yourself. The stability
of your life is incapable of comprehending strife.
Dark days will come, but you don't have to succumb
to them. Pull yourself up; I know it's not easy.
You have to survive by getting back on track.
You'll see the results in due time. Come out
and fulfill your desire for inspiring confidence.
