poem 14

Even in the light, I walk in the dark.

It follows me, It has marked me.

I am not good or evil.

Yes, I have danced with the devil.

Yes, I have seen the face of death.

Yes, I see pain.

I have seen hate that burns hot.

I have seen pain that cuts like knives.

I do not fear you, I am a twisted soul.

The darkness was once all there was.

The light was placed in the darkness.

There is no true evil, anyway but man.

What is anyway?

It is a perception.

Evil in my eyes may be different

then the evil in your eyes.

How do we judge those who are evil?

Yes, I did what I needed to survive.

But I do not want to survive.

I want to be alive.

I lost something on my way here.

I do not know what it is.

I know it has made a hole.

A hole I can't fill.

I try and try.

But nothing feeds this hunger.

My beast is chained to a dark soul.

It pulls and warps my soul.

Its claws scar my heart.
