Darkness

There is a darkness that light cannot find Perhaps neurological: all in the mind nevertheless, it's a most spooky place housing strange shapes of forgotten disgrace. Yet, once in a while, I will journey there often to disarm an ugly new scare. The last time I went there, I met a man who dwells in the darkness by his own plan The light hurts his eyes; it should hurt our''s, too it shows the wrongs we can never undo It's best, he says, to avoid all the light and keep our demons safely out of sight You now know my story (I might be dazed) because by the dark, I'm no longer fazed If I've wronged someone, please accept my shame I didn't do it, my mind is to blame.
