The fight within

Darkness consumes me
Light shines through me
Darkness, swift, subtle, the covert black
Manipulative father of deception
using my sorrow, using my pain
Always seeking my soul to gain
No escape
No place to hide
Stealing my light
Using my pride
Brightness fades yet still pervades
Keeping me sane
Keeping me tame
Light the sweet, soothing, peaceful right
Forever burning
Always bright
The war within is long and hard
Power.. darks calling card
Wisdom kills fear
Fear taunts and diverts
Direction finds me still
darkness won't win
Far more powerful is the light from within

    "Stealing my light by using my pride

    Very metaphorical and forces the mind into a state of imagination in which your words leap into full motion pictures. Brilliant. Sparks the mind into a state of wonder!

    Again I applaud you! This is just brilliant! Damn, you are one talented poet. Your poems seems to have a fast pace to it, very different than what I am used to...but so brilliant. Loved the topic and the transformation in the end. Well done again my friend!!!

    Hey, this is pretty good. I must say, reading some of the things I have tonight, I was a bit skeptical. But this was nice. Compared to some other people I've seen on this site, you've got a wonderful vocabulary lol. I think that this is well written, and well articulated. It leaves the reader thinking about something new. Nice work, and keep writing
