a shadow soul no more

   
darkness for a time    
came naturally to me    
i felt no regret or remorse    
   
i let it spill from deep inside    
now i find it forced    
as if an outside entity    
is shoving it down my throat    
   
when i loose it    
it burns my tongue with the telling    
i'm left drained    
where once i was invigorated    
   
depression & guilt sets in    
i want to erase it all    
but what's said can't be unsaid    
what's freed can't be called back    
   
so i learn a lesson    
& move on into the light    
where the sun shines on my soul    
 
casting out the shadows    
that choke my inner child    
who is brand new    
learning the language of love    
   
let the hate abate    
& return to where once it sprang    
it can no longer bite & tear my flesh    
torturer of the weak    
scavenger of the damned    
   
i walk in shadows no more    
no longer will i falter    
lose my footing in the night    
my path is illuminated    
grace lights the way
