Darkness II

Darkness II

A Poem by Elle

"
What if the darkness
I've always felt 
Wasn't her but was me?
Always me?
That would mean I'm wrong.
All wrong.
The blame,
The fault,
Has always landed, squarely,
On her shoulders.
So why, now,
Does it come to rest on mine?

Maybe the darkness never left
And the lightness was always fleeting
Because of me and
Who 
Am.

I don't produce light;
I don't produce happiness.
All the good that touches me
Is borrowed; its not mine.
It never was.

How could I have been so wrong?
This whole time.
All these years...

Why am I pain and misery
And fear.
I want light.
I want love.
I want truth.

I'm ready to say:
Goodbye Darkness, this is our End.
