"While darkness is avoided by most, I embrace it with open arms to discover the true beauty that lies within."


Hide the feelings that struggle for freedom. Allow no one to see the fight occurring within.
Swallow the pain as you wither away. Keep the face upon your face; your fake smile fixed in place.Empty eyes of sorrow engulf your shattered soul.Throat burning to expose the truth of what you have become.Tears of disappointment cascading down your cheek;the serpents tongue tasting your sweet defeat.Fire and warmth inside fading; an icy heart beat remaining.As the dark drags you under, the monster within escapes once again.


The author's comments:
What inspired this is that I hide my emotions inside burring them down deep, allowing this fake person to be exposed when I become depressed. But I have noticed that a lot of people I currently go to school with do the same without realizing it. I just wanted to write about how and what I see in the mirror when I look at myself and at others.
