Darkness

In the deepest darkness;

our true selves can be found.

So lock the door my pet;

Turn out the light and don't make a sound.

Are you sure you wish to know;

The truth about who you are?

Can you handle seeing your soul;

That small, fading star?

In the deepest darkness,

Hides the secrets of which you sought.

In that lonely part of your mind;

You restrain your every horrid thought.

Turn out the light;

accept that shadowed part.

Let everything go,

Only then can life truly start.

[Pink Poison]

This is so true...it's hard to face yourself in the often harsh light, but by remaining in the dark and not making a sound, you are also remaining "a small fading star". I say "turn on the lights" and let the world see whatever I am learning to be...even the rotten parts. Great poem; it really makes you think.
