The Dark Poet

She writes of darkness like her soul’s been sold But deep inside she has a heart of gold Words brought on by a darkened past At times she prayed that she would breathe her last There was no one that she could turn to When suddenly the light came shining through Her life was changed from an endless curse Now she puts her story in poetic verse Overcoming her fears and the urge to kill She used her poems as a coping skill From an angel of darkness she ascended To an angel of light completely mended So read the dark poet, it’ll give you a start But please be careful, she’ll steal your heart.

I too have been in a place where expressing my art was the only way to keep my sanity. A different world to live in so that the realities of this one can become more bearable. A better place sometimes more worth being inhabited. I like your writing very much.
