My Darkest Place

Embedded image from another site



Black is made up of many colors, you can find them all inside
I too became this color from everything I hide
But shine your upon me I become transparent then I glow
Just like a prism bending light I am a colorful rainbow
But without you I am translucent, dull, and uninspired
Until you place your hand in mine and then our worlds are set on fire
And when everything is consumed but the ashes burning an image of your face
Into my mind behind my eyes I find my refuge back in my darkest place
Where I say hello to the stinging wasp inside my head
And then I say goodbye to the butterflies trapped inside my neck

This poem reminds me of the guy in Green Mile who said he could feel the hate of the world and it felt like glass inside his head. It really does take someone else to get us out of ourselves, to escape from darkness and dark feelings and thoughts. We do need our friends to take us to the light.cheers teddybear dance

You my friend
use your quill

would a sword.

With such precision
captivating at the very least.
