out of the nothing I was born
from bleakness, was given form
molded and sculpted into this
yet still part of the dark abyss

as my emotions grow and reach
and as this life will surely teach
I will never get very far
from the abyss that’s black as tar

as the light grows inside of me
I open these eyes for to see
taking this life, I was given
from the darkness I am driven

and even if one day I shine
twisted around me like a vine
will be that darkness whence I came
no matter what my life proclaims

powerful, though-provoking 'write'!

I especially admire:

"and even if one day I shine
twisted around me like a vine
will be that darkness whence I came
no matter what my life proclaims(!)"

sustained applause!!
