Darkness Within
They wanted to know why I was alive
tormented by chaos and twisted lies
corrupted by fate, betrayals, and storms without end.
They wanted to understand my thoughts
to comprehend the horrors that I saw
to visualize my universe tainted by the dark north wind
They wanted to enclose me in barriers without end
to protect me from myself
and others from myself
words like "crazy" and "unstable"
tumbled and fought for room on the screen of my awareness
Yet in all their confusion
they did not know that I could not hurt a fly
because the pain in my soul was far too bright
for me to possibly attempt to shift it to another.
Darkness looks for one victim
each to its own
and seeks no other.
We are not psychopaths, or murderers,
not monsters of the deep or air
we are just those infected by darkness
and whether we choose to live or die is our burden to bear
