Dark Soul Poem by Morinanna Wyzard

Deep dark and mysterious
the place of pain and sorrow
the shadow lands,
something that lives deep inside of me
hidden away, like a dark secret
a secret garden of despair,
where the creatures of the night
are free to roam, and run
I own this place,
I am the queen of my darkness
I opened my heart
to the light of true love
and thought I didn't need this place any more
locked away like Pandora's box,
waiting for me to return,
I feel loved, and safe
but magickal weak, like my guard has been let down
no shielding, heart open wide
for all to see the good in me
people say I have changed,
for the better, that my life is all aglow
but I find safety and strength
in the realm below
it's all an illusion
it's just a show
for I belong to the night
to the darkness others fear
power comes to me
in the dark of the moon
something I can no longer deny
no longer living the lie
life is not a light filled dream
it's ugly, painful, and mean
truth comes from the lack of light
I know I was born a child of the night
I celebrate the return of the darkest time of year
while others focus on the birth of the light
I will rejoice and dance in the darkness of the night
rage and hate, pain and sorrow
give me strength to face each tomorrow
I call upon the Goddess of the underworld
for she knows me all so well
fills me with her power,
to do my will
no longer denying
the power of the pain
for in this dark place I shall
remain.
So grab your glasses
and toast and cheer
the birth of the light
and I will mourn
the death
of the darkest time of
the year
so
love me, or hate me
keep me or leave me
for I am the dark one
you fear
my power I reclaim
for I remain the same
untouched my the light
yet filled with my own delight
ravage and raw
like the beast we all hide within
for I'm made of bones and flesh
maybe I'm your evil twin
or just a deadly sin
pierce my skin
and I shall bleed
the black blood that flows
from the darkest soul
