Lesa Rodden Poet Rhyme

A Dark Place

There is a dark place
It's in the back of my mind
Sometimes I will summon it
Other times, me...it will find

This place holds the pain
And the suffering too
It holds all the scars
From the things I've been through

It's dark and it's scary
You'd not choose it to be
A destination to visit
These are not things you'd want to see

There is good about this dark place
And the sickness it holds
It is now held in containment
I decide when it's told

Now I call the shots 
In beckoning these flashes
I use them to heal
Until I turn them to ashes
