Darkness Within

The darker side

To walk in darkness or walk in light

When you overflow with kindness to disguise a fight

When purity is your mask

When nobody knows the darker past

A fight within against the demons

Lust towards your inner evil

A conflicted turmoil of good and right

Devils and demons within me reside

To curve the darkened cloud inside

To live with restraint beyond normal life

Overly patient

Overly kind

Or an alternative which isn't at all nice

A little broken or maybe a lot

A heart that is filled with moldy rot

A soul entwined with thorns

Barbed wire I can barely feel at all

To feel the heat growing like lava

Let's hope for no eruptions

Like a meat eating larva

About the Creator

Sheara Kerry

A daydreamer, mind wondering, thoughts pondering, like the ondulation in the ocean. I doodled, and wrote, pages with a thousand notes. My dreams like sci-fi movies, where the lines of reality and imagination blurr into imPOSSIBLE things.
