Life in the dark - Poem

Life in the Dark Poem- Screwz the poet

I don't know about you but Bedtime was the scariest thing for me as a child.
I walked slowly towards my light switch, feeling like I'm about do something so wild.
I kept telling myself not to worry, it's nothin major,
but, I had my doubts.

I turned the light off, And clutched my fist so tight,
and stood back against the wall, so no attacks from behind.
I stood there the entire time,
with bags under my eyes.
I was war ready!

I was ready to throw hands,
and show strength to any monster whose lurking In the night,
looking for a fight
Man, I had this one punch I learnt from anime, that sent their opponents into the sky,
Which made me believe I can exceed all human limitation and do the same tonight.

Damn, I felt like mike Tyson in his prime
I'm about to go have the fight of my life.
To tell you the truth, I was scared.
Man, it was scary,
I let my coach know from early,
if worst comes to worst,
and my mighty one punch don't work,
then Throw in the towel and keep me alive.
it a win just to survive!

I wanted to have the strength of the sun light,
that ignites knights to want to fight.
then I realised the sunlight is weak.
With all that power,
it has never stood to fight.
The sun light crosses over to the other side at the slightest sight of the night. Right?
It baffled me for longest, I just kept asking my self why?

Later that day,
when the sun, shine so bright.
I reached for the sky
to find out why,
Light and dark don't ever see eye to eye,
and I burnt myself,
when I tried.
But no one could tell so I just stayed quiet.
That's the first time I notice my skin weren't white.

This was the discovery of my life,
Including finding out caterpillar do turn into butterflies.
But my skin WON'T!
so there goes my dream off ever becoming light.

From there I was even more terrified.
I've seen the negatives vibes,
The dark has gotten over time.
I panic'd,
and thought how I'm I going to survive.
It's only a matter of time,
For the heat turn me into Fries,
And leave me on the side
To be picked on,
Or be forgotten by,
The once that don't won't me inside.
Either way, this was going to be my life!

Arghh I was angry,
I pondered a minute,
till I realised,
My fascination of the light lead me to believe all these lies
the truth the dark...
is just as nice.

The Dark is so simple and pure
Close your eyes for a minute.
Avoid thinking about monster, ghost, and spirits.
Paint a picture with only beautiful things in it.
you'll start to realise the dark isn't scary no more
Don't listen to those who tells you the dark filled with ugly and raw.
But if it is,
then so be it,
thats what makes it perfect!
It gave me the chance to be a fucking artist,
And paint Beauty upon it.
Now I'm not dark no more,
I'm coloured
And I love it!
