The Darker Side
Like ALL, I too am not perfect,
Mustering all strength to remain abrest,
Half of myself remains hidden,
The darkness I hide,
My thoughts and feelings unacceptable,
The tears unseen I cried
Keeping a ever smiling face,
The rage and sorrow buried
It lingers in my soul
In my heart
Lies such an empty hole
I sit and cry,
Silently I shout
I go numb inside,
With an urge to let it out
I want to run away from this sorrow
But im just another cause of my pain
I appear as 'dusk'to people,
The Sun sometimes has already set,
Dark and cold within,
How does the warmth surface?
Each day I fight a silent battle
I lose, surroundings WIN,
Not just chastity I do sin.
It is YOU to whom I cling as a glimmer of hope,
Within the darker side of me....
