mid night poetry( part 1)

Becoming the darkness

Becoming The Darkness

I'm slipping

Hope is slowly falling away

It's coming

The shadows are consuming me

Please, relieve me of my guilty conscience

Because these memories haunt me to no end

Please, make me another one of the departed

Allow me to ascend from this lament

-

My sorrowful heart has been forever weighing me down

But I still tried my very best to carry on

My lonesome soul kept corrupting me even more

So I was never really brave or strong

The birth to a new side of me has risen

One that harnessed the tragedies

The gift of a curse is what I have been given

I'm in control of my own insanity

-

A tranquil calmness on the outside

I'm hesitating

A black storm rages on the inside

It's tempting

My eyes attempt to remain closed

While this inner chaos tries to take over

And these twisted thoughts grab hold

I am no longer my own oppressor

-

I've transformed into my best nightmare

And also my very own worst enemy

Because the light within has disappeared

So I had to hopelessly abandon my own sense of mercy 

This will be my last choice in life

So I have to embrace it

I will make this destiny mine

By finally becoming the darkness
