Make My Life Whole

Fading away into darkness A place you don't understand Where half my soul resides A place that I can withstand All have a light and dark side The light many can relate But I also love my dark side One that I refuse to sedate I take joy in the darkness one that touches my soul Still I will hold onto the lightness They both make my life whole

Indeed, we must also be aware of the darkness in us. I don't think much about it though. I am mostly happy and my only rage is at Big Pharma!! Very interesting your perspective, Brenda.

Andrea thank you but as I explained to Gershon I don't see the dark side as evil!;)

Pretty poem and VERY true. Resonates so, Brenda. (Though I now stay away from my dark side almost all of the time, I still know it well!). Thanks, Gershon

Thank you Gershon so very much! Yea I don't look at the dark side as evil or anything it's just a part of us that is! Lol!;)
