A Twist of Fate

A poem based on the tragedy of the fictional character Anakin Skywalker, and the vicious dark Darth Vader is forced to become. Enjoy.

In this twisted darkness I am

With only my pain

My suffering and joy

Yet no salvation will find me

In this darkness I remain

My hate is strong

Like the fire that courses in me

Surrounded by walls of black

I see only myself

I feel only the hatred

The fire of it burns white within

Air is no longer needed

Life itself is no longer what I desire

Hatred is me

I live for it and only it

Once before I agonized at this feeling

Yet feeling is all I am now

With that fire racing across me

I have nothing left

A cold mask has slid over me

My will to live

My will to exist and breathe

Love has left me forever

Hatred, my suffering and joy

Forever a part of me

Forever and never more

A twist of fate I am

Bound to none but me

I thrive in the power

My lust for it is strong

It makes me breath

Forget petty life

Forget the mockery of emotion

Hatred is all I need

For it allows me to feel nothing
