Kaleidoscope of Chaos

Day turned into night as Dawn's early light never materialized
Sun took a vacation under some rather dark clouds
Gloom and doom took over the landscape
Filled the viewers with a sense of dread of what was coming
Lurking around every dark corridor waiting to attack
Arisen to a new reality that came from a cheap horror movie
The direct to video kind with subpar special effects
Had little substance and cliché ridden scares
Where the villain seemed to be unstoppable
Ready for Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees to go away
Looking upon the horizon for a brighter future
No longer worried about the boogeyman around every corner
Wearing comfortable shoes and not carrying a weapon
To fight off real and imaginary bad guys
Searching for the sun to come out tomorrow via Annie
Minus the need for excessive musical numbers
Too illogical to fit in with a realistic narrative
Time to make a clean break from this quagmire
Climbing up from the bowels of something impossible
Not insurmountable; just plain messy and complicated
A sticky situation without an easy exfiltration in sight
Ready to hit the reset button and find a new plan
Unable to reach it due to numerous obstacles
Heavy and thorny objects meant to frustrate and hinder
Another monster coming out of the woodwork to fight
Not giving them a chance to win this time
Decided on not being Ms. Nice Girl anymore
Received nothing but grief by being overly solicitous
Been instructed to develop a fighting spirit by the masses
Finally, gave into the request by popular demand
Developed a strong desire to kick butt and take names
Unwilling to give up, give in and take anything
People wanted to see the dark side of this genial creature
It's been earned tenfold after years of turning the other cheek
Made the decision to not go quietly this time
Now is the time to stand up and fight back
Against time and anything else that stands in our way!
Looking for those clouds to disappear.

There always comes a time when even the meekest and most genial among us has to stand up and fight. It sounds like this was your time. You described it well.
