Dark Days

I wrote this late 2025. I was working in the gaol and had a yelling match with an inmate, and then afterwards I thought to myself, "I never yell at inmates, I must have an anger issue."

So I spent time with God delving into it, and wrote this song about not feeling appreciated. It was a song for the moment, reflecting my feelings back then.

I was hesitant to release it, as it's a song about complaining, however I believe the story in the song reflects growth which might help other men.

This song also will speak to those who are full time carers, and are fatigued with the sacrifices they have done to help others. Stick to it. Your job is important and God values it very much.

I hope this touches your heart and I'm glad I can help you on your walk with God.

Lyrics

"Dark Days" by KunzyPoet

I watch the world having all the fun

They have no rules and do what they want

When life gets hard they just move on

Sometimes I wish I was just like them

But I am working, providing for my family

And through the night, I'm changing dirty nappies

I'm calming my spouse, who's very overtired

I'm being their rock, while crumbling inside

I remind myself

I've tried their ways

And their empty pleasure

I'm so glad I made

The right choice for

Jesus to be my Saviour.

But on my dark days

When I can't pray

And I can't bare

That no one cares

all I'm doing for them

Promise me Lord,

my sacrifice made all the difference.

By following Jesus, I fight myself

I carry my cross and shut my mouth

But I am tired of the war in me

Sometimes I wish I was just like them

While I envy, I don't see them in the dark

When the drugs can't silence their heart

They're crying in pain from torn relationships

They're dying from the shame of selfishness

I remind myself

I've tried their ways

And their empty pleasure

I'm so glad I made

The right choice for

Jesus to be my Saviour.

But on my dark days

When I can't pray

And I can't bare

That no one cares

all I'm doing for them

Promise me Lord,

my sacrifice made all the difference.

But on my dark days

When I can't pray

And I can't bare

That no one cares

all I'm doing for them

Promise me Lord,

my sacrifice made all the difference.

Then Jesus removes the veil and I see

angels leading me by my hand

Their faces show how proud they are of me

I finally know God understands.

I remind myself

I've tried their ways

And their empty pleasure

I'm so glad I made

The right choice for

Jesus to be my Saviour.

And on my dark days

I will still pray

And in my prayers

I know Jesus cares

all I'm doing for them

I know now Lord,

my sacrifice made all the difference.

And on my dark days

I will still pray

And in my prayers

I know Jesus cares

all I'm doing for them

I know now Lord,

my sacrifice made all the difference
