Darkside
We all have a darkside we don't like to show or go there
If mine comes out will you regret the day you laid eyes
upon my face?
But in this rat race of life it can't help but to come out
So I sit in the pouring rain and cry, tears rolling down my pale face
Just as different as leather is from lace
So is darkness and brightness
And my darkside shines more often than the bright
It may be less than right
But take me for who I really am like it or not
Because not a pretender will be I
So here I stand rendered still deep in thought
even if I were under ultraviolet light
My darker side still prevails hauntingly bright
Some days my heart is cold as ice and I wish
I could be turned into stone just leave me alone in my dark despair
I know I was never meant for repair
If mine comes out will you regret the day you laid eyes
upon my face?
But in this rat race of life it can't help but to come out

It may be less than right
But take me for who I really am like it or not

My darker side still prevails hauntingly bright
Some days my heart is cold as ice and I wish
I could be turned into stone just leave me alone in my dark despair

Some people will do that. bring ones dark side to the surface, they just cannot help themselves. I tend to wield it in their deserving direction.
Great expression and pen DD.

Another poem of yours that I can totally identify with well! Indeed, we all have darkness and light within us, and the one is no less beautiful then the other. The moon, no less glorious then the light of the sun! I suppose, in my own way too, I am not "meant for repair" for we who are unique are not broken but perfect as the divine made us. That's how I view it, anyway! Your poem is lovely and a glorious celebration of being oneself even if is not what the world desires. We are all quite deliciously imperfect beings in this universe, and I'd never want to be what others call "perfect". I can see in your words, you feel the same, and that is good. Passionate, dark, and powerful writing! :)
