That evil done I've been and seen By my own hand I caused such pain Cold, cruel, and just plain mean Now every day, to bear that shame Now locked away where it belongs Safe and secure, forever now That evil there, we know it's wrongs Can't let it out, no way, no how! This darkness carried deep inside Lurking there, fights for control Nowhere to run, no place to hide Must stand and face this tortured soul Rarely seen the battle rages Light verse dark, day after day Time will tell in history's pages Right or wrong, who's to say? No one knows, not now nor then Why it is so, this to and fro Surely one day it all must end To fight no more, please let me go! God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

GOOD GRIEF!!! This was like opening up a book to my past! I know the feeling so well of wanting it all to finally end. The pain of the darkness and the loneliness of it all. I once thought that the darkness in me brought me to a dangerous level. But the WONDERFUL people in this forum showed me that I can take control of the darkness and make it my friend. Sounds wierd but it can happen. Awwwwwww the wonderful word says it all ...... "TIME!" Great poem! DkW  Once there was a darkness Deep and endless night You gave me everything you had Ahhhhhh you gave me light |

goodness eagle....this is haunted... well written description of how it feels when we are tormented by those voices and ghosts from our past. usually we are harder on our selves than the ghosts. take care poet sir later-eagle-gator jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

~Eagle,...your poem has creeped it's way right into me. "This darkness carried deep inside, Lurking there, fights for control"....it is a daily struggle for me and so,...to your words here...I feel that I can relate. Super dark, super real (to me). Thank you for posting such a great expression. *Peace. |

Take care! catalinamoon.....I think the battle rages within us all. Can there ever be a winner if we are fighting ourself? Take Care!
