Dominion

Your darkness becomes your cage
being imprisoned, you became the demon
on your own dominion.
Never seeing light, you succumb
to your inner needs. Then you
die as ugly truth littered all over
your pale blood.

Ending it all is where
you should rise, 
never falling to the
needs of others,
you became the light
never fading, stronger than
you could ever be
you have to live,

again....

battling our own darkness...and learning to live again....such a pertinent poem for so many of us who border on giving up....on succumbing to depression and loss of hope...

we need to break out of that prison...parole ourselves with light and positiveness...

nicely expressed here...a really good poem, Pax.

One can feel the rising struggle between the despairing darkness and the living light. What a vivid, fierce walk through life, and living again.

Powerful and wonderful poetry my friend.
"Never seeing light, you succumb

I did like the above lines. Made the reader understand the place. Thank you Pax for sharing the outstanding poetry.

We truly do become the demon of our own dominion. Well expressed, Pax.
