Darkness within, a gaping hole
growing everlastingly
Feeding off my disbeliefs
Thriving on my sorrows
Taking hold of my conscience.

I tried to hinder it,
to naively convince myself
That It never transpired
that my candid heart still
laid unscathed.

Yet as I grew older
Life sadisticly crushed down
everything I once cherished
decimated my every hopes
contrived the darkness within.

As the years passed by
and the deceits grew countless
like a black hole engorging
all that surrounded it
the darkness took its toll.

I am now one and all
with  this darkness within
As life keeps unsettling me
tricking me every time i dare
to vulnerably care...

No more shall I attempt
to restrict it or deny it
As I would myself become
the very deciever I loathe
I am the darkness within
Yeah ok... Funny thing the same day I wrote the 'Bulletproof' poem on difficulties to trust and how a relation is never 100% reliable...

A friend stabbed me in the back... So I haad a bit of time tonight and put a bit on paper what i feel has been a very common event in my life. Getting betrayed seems dull now because i've accepted the fact that people CAN and WILL disapoint you at some point of your life.

I guess i just embraced the darkness that once long ago was created out of the first of these 'unpleasant events'.

Funny coz I came to write this also after reading a journal on :iconpinksolace:'s journal about Identity. So this poem goes out to her!

Excellent job on this. Beautiful imagery and wording. You really put into perspective what we have to become, the inner darkness we have to embrace, in order to make something at all of ourselves, or just to keep from being hurt over and over again. Keep writing.
