The Dark Destroyer

The Dark Destroyer

Part I
The void arrives
Sucks you in and down
Into the nothingness
Only darkness breathes
Life out of focus
It seems all is lost
Panic stricken, then
Realisation hits
Aware that it’s here
The Dark Destroyer!
The void door closes
No strength to fight
You succumb, averse
No one understands
It’s a lonely battle
Inside your own head
Trapped, Defeated
 
Part II
Defeated – not dead!
Many a battle
Still to overcome
Take action, right now!
Shout loud, ‘they’ will hear
The void door re-opens
Join forces, unite
With ‘they’ who can help
‘They’ will stand by you
Guide you, comfort you
Give positive light.
It’s a classic duel
Of light verses dark
Who wins in the end?
It’s you who decides!

Hi Laura. The battle of darkness and light is a daily thing and can really only be won with the help of God. I enjoyed reading this one. God be with you, my friend..... Robert.

I rate this very expressive write a very solid 7. From Darkness into the Light is a great feat and one some fail to ever make. Defeat does not win if we step into the Light(God's) for there it can not exist.

Thank you very much Paul, always appreciate your time and encouragement! I like to write finishing on a positive - it is postitive thinking that has and still gets me through the chaos of my mind and life in general. Kind Rgds, Laura
