The Dark Side

Every day I awake, Ready for my heart to quake. Ready to throw my life away, For sure I wished not to stay They pulled at my hair, Tugged at my chair They called me a freak, This made me feel weak. Wishing not to care, For none of this was fair I pushed the blade against my wrist, Willing for it to slide and pull away the tide… Wait… But inside, I could feel the change of the tide With bruises and damage, I could not manage As I fear their hunting me, I’m afraid of what I’ll turn to be I know what I am capable of… With the fire burning inside, I could feel myself slipping to the dark side No one could hear my aguish or despair, Forever I will not care. Cutting myself off from the world… I was careless, until I saw you, I thought you were true. Then you used me, It felt like you were abusing me. I now would never care, For no one would dare. What you did to me, No one could see With firing rage… I fell and slipped to the dark side, And now I stay there With no despair, For no one had any care And now you all are here, You shall scream in fear You all pulled at my hair, You all kicked at my chair I will be the hunter, And you all can be the deer, I’ll make you all scream and run in fear. With the fire burning inside, I ruled the dark side…

I've fallen deep once too many times when on the dark side. I've done things I hate. I was a hunter, made everyone my prey. I know how it is to be fed up, burning inside. Trusting the ones we love, when they are probably worst than us. This is a good write Valkyrie,, A nice warm WELCOME to poetry soup. I hope you have fun with this wonderful community.
