My Eternal Enigma

Lurking amongst those deathly shadows,
Peeking through the portal of light.
The sun rises with its magnificent warmth,
But I am still living in the night.

Maybe I should venture through the unknown,
Or maybe I shall fade willingly into the darkness.
Some is whispering into my ear to go,
But my heart tells me to stay

Carmine drapes separate me from the bright,
Tendrils of shadows keep me back.
The fiery sun pulls me in with its burning fingers,
Darkness tugs back with its chocking grip.

Should I give into the enticing light?
Or shall I rest among the dark?
Am I the avatar of the light or of the dark?
Or am I just a confused soul?
