The Darkness

My soul is like the darkest of night,
It's overcome what once was light.

I tried to fight it for so long,
But I finally know it's where I belong.

The light has no place in my soul,
The dark is the only place where I feel whole.

I used to try to walk in the sun,
While inside my head I was screaming run.

My dark side I always tried to hide,
I kept it all hidden deep inside.

I felt like I was locked in a cage,
It filled me with constant rage.

Then I met someone who accepts the real me,
He showed me it was ok to set my darkness free.

Now I no longer hide the darkness I feel,
I finally show the me that is real.

I'm not afraid of my darkness anymore,
Because now I know living in the darkness is what I'm meant for.

The darkness inside me I no longer fight,
I let it take over and become one with the night.

It's very nice and I understand. I wouldn't say live in the dark if that's a reference to evil, but to each it's own. The good exist in both darkness and light as the darkness to me is beautiful as well. Sometime's beauty has to exist there as well in order for others to see that light and dark are merely words to describe the truth that people create light and darkness within themselves by pushing forward or giving up.  Not the setting or rising of the sun.. Thank you for sharing your honest feelings in words for us. I can't say if some people are meant to live in darkness or not , but your thoughts alone show that you are consciously aware and understand the conflict..... Thanks again sorry for my long comment :)

I appreciate the comment, no need to apologize for the length of it. I don't necessarily mean darkness as in evil. I'm just drawn  more to things that some conside outside the normal. It's more of a coming to my own terms with my mental illnesses and accepting that it's just who I am. I've stopped trying to constantly hide it from everyone I know and pretend that I feel fine all the time when I feel like I'm dying on the inside. Learning to accept myself was one of the most freeing things I've ever done.

ok cool. The past couple years i have learned to accept myself as well. All my flaws etc. By doing that I fully understand myself now for the most part.. more or less... I had to let people go out of my life as well... My circle got so small I started talking to myself lol.. Anyways I get you I understand exactly what you mean. Were all a little loco ourselves lol  :)     .......
