dying to fairytales and waking to the tough honesty
my darker side shines
I hide it away because I don't want to encourage
others to be ravished

the rest seem peacefully asleep
I don't want to disturb their slumber
if the world makes sense to them
then I shouldn't trouble the restless spirits
walking about happy enough

they know spiritual battles are being waged
content with what is offered in the way of explanation
let them blend and take part in what is still beautiful here

my life has been torture
I walked after the light
and found it to be a false light

then the darkness peered into me
and said you're an old soul
this isn;t your walk

then proceeded to tell me things
after that, nothing would be the same
so if I seem cynical and jaded
it's because I was peacefully slumbering
when I was so rudely awoken

I am a dark being who looks like a sunflower
I am reminded of the other dark beings out there
some would call us monsters
this world is made for such
