Light Or Dark Poem by Ryan A. McGraw

I light a fire in the darkness,
So there may be light.
Others come to feel the warmth,
Because it's burning bright.

I saw the shadows corrupting my light.
I saw them laughing with my own eyes.
I burned them, hoping they die.

The shadows merely split in two,
faded, but still there.
I found the source,
The others now a corpse.
But the darkness was still there.

I saw my shadow corrupting my light,
I saw it laughing with my own eyes,
So I burned it...

Burned it high,
Burned it bright,
But saw the darkness laughing with delight.
