I am the Darkness

People misunderstand me alot. I seem to emit some sort of dark intention, when I am really trying to protect them. My Siblings being a good example. I just wanted to be there for them, that didn't happen, the light was shined on them. This is Part 1,

 

I see you from the shadows

I watch and wait to move

The only way darkness can move, the light had to move first

 

My mind is an empty room

I boarded up the windows

My soul is a void

Ever spinning nothingness

My body is shadowy

No features to be seen

My heart is an abyss

Everyone falls in

My life is darkness

This is why

My mind is an empty room

To protect you from what is out there

My soul is a void

So that you can’t find it and get hurt

My body is shadowy

There is still nothing to see

My heart is an abyss

I have room for everyone

My life is darkness

But my intentions are good

 

I see you from the shadows

I watch and wait to move

I can’t move alone

The light must act first

Well mister prophet this was a great read.
The darkness is never embraced properly; as I tend to live there so often--
your words seem to express your part of it rather well, and it even feels like you've sacrificed some part of yourself to protect another... At least, in my owrld, this makes sense.

I WONDER IF THAT DARKNESS IT'S ONLY A DOOR TO BRING YOU SLOW INTO THE LIGHT AND SHOW YOU THAT IN THE DARK AND IN THE LIGHT THERE'S MUCH LOVE... i LOVE YOUR POEM... THANKS . mAGIC

Beautiful and intense... I love this.
I love the perspective you have of darkness... and the way that you express it really made me think.
I believe that to appreciate light you must experience darkness... that both go hand in hand.
Like yin and yang.
I think too that there is a darkness in all of us. But that some fear it, while others accept and embrace it. Really great write ;)

Absolutely ASTOUNDING, I don't have the words to express how this made me feel. Just...dark, but not savage, more...serene, I think. I loved the lines:

My heart is an abyss
Everyone falls in

and

I can't move alone
The light must act first

Just amazing, and it truly touched me SO deeply.

Thank you.

very deep, soulful, and another great work.

Oh how I loathe being misunderstood. In the middle of a raging battle right now because of it. I love how you liken yourself to the shadow...and must await movement for the light to move yourself. A very unique and interesting concept to me. My heart is also akin to yours. Some days, I think I should start nailing planks to the entrances, but that just truly wouldn't be living, would it? Damn heart. I also really liked how your soul stays void in order not to hurt others. Oh....if only we could protect others from harm. I haven't mastered that one yet, I'll be watching for clues from you. Excellent piece, loaded with pleasing imagery (as I am in touch with my own shadow side). Thanks for posting this.
