Before you fall

          We all meet the darkness

One way or another

You can't fight it

And you can't run

 

The best we can do is

Embrace it

Fall in love with it

Worship it

 

Prepare yourself

One day it'll find you

When you least expect it

Close your eyes

 

Say your prayers child

Before oblivion slips in

Before you fall

Before nothing

Nice work. seemed very intensely written, tight as hell keeping the flow very engaging..deeper and deeper into the dark of the world you created in the piece. Loved it
Cheers! keep at it :)

Embrace the darkness.
Embrace the monster.

That is the only way that it can be slain.

[Relic]

Ominous words especially to one young. To embrace the dark is to prepare for the unknown. One can only hope the human intellect is sufficient enough for the task ahead.

This is terrific, and true everyone will engage in darkness, but is our choice to
embrace it and fight through, key word for me in this piece is "pray". Thanks for sharing and b-blessed.

Thank you! This poem is the product of me lying awake at night and thinking up these crazy stories about heroes and monsters, and monsters without heroes. Sometimes you have to fight for yourself. My brain is a jumble of these kinds of things.
