I used to walk between shadows. Afraid I’d see to far. Darkness started to me my friend, But my heart it did mar. I once had ran upon the nails. Loving all of the pain!! Searching for a rapid relief. Out of my dark filled day. I had cut through the forest trees . I made my own flesh bleed. My blood had suffocated me ... until I could not breath The darkness was my enemy. Cloaked in red, black, and white devouring my very soul, and leading me to night. The dust blew over my body, And the nails continued the pain. No longer was I remembered. I was left bleeding......... gasping for air...... dying ........... in the rain. The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow.Sow a habit and you reap a character.Sow a character and you reap a destiny |

I thought the poem was pretty dark, but I liked it. Very nice read, the ending was exceptional! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |
