Free verse № 151
My Dark
My passion burns bright-
Deep within me.
Glowing,
Grabbing at me,
Tearing me apart.
Pulling me farther in-
Looking for an escape from this my dark side.
I seek to find normalcy
I yearn to find simplicity.
Stuck in this deep dark world.
The admiration of many will not let me be comforted.
They yearn for the night in me.
To take them to unimaginable places.
Places their minds' will not let them stay for long.
It is so lonely here.
With only words and twisted thoughts for friends.
Alas, it is here I have to wait.
In the constant struggle to not be myself,
To deny the side that takes me.
Just waiting to relinquish control.
