Darkness I ask you to set me free
Free me from this place where I don’t want to be
I can’t stand this suffering anymore
Give me the peace that I yearn for
Days, months and years I fought
Yet I still can’t ease my distraught
After each demon I slay
A new one arises the next day
My armor is weakening and starting to decay
Yet I pick my sword and head into the fray
I have become lost and weary of this fight
For the victory I seek is nowhere in sight
All my hope and strength is depleted
So take me now Darkness before I am defeated
Take me now before my sanity is no more
Take me now before the demons invade my minds core
Darkness save whatever little sanity is left
Save me with your embrace of death

This so so nicely written. Thank you so much for sharing. If I may it sounds like this one by Longfellow. The endless back and forth of the meter:
The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveler hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but nevermore
Returns the traveler to the shore,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
