the dark part

im the part of you that you try to deny

the part that you hide away from the world

that dark little part that grows bigger every day

the part that enjoys seeing others in pain

 

im what helps you get by

every time you step on someone to advance in your career, thats me

every heart you break without even blinking an eye, me again

 

but dont worry i get bigger every day

I love this type of writing that makes us think. Each of us will interpret what this "part" is differently. Awesome!

I love this because it is true. It is a hard truth to face, but it is true. I have long felt that all successcul people and I mean ALL, have build their success in this way. I don't judge them. It is just how things are. It doesn't matter whether it is capitalism or any other ism, wherever there is a structure which ends in ism some people will naturally strive to rise in it and their rise is often at the expense of others. Winners can't avoid making losers. They may also make some others winners, too, but they will certainly make losers. Yet we love our winners also. But they all definitely absolutely have this dark part in them, driving them on and on.

Nicely put, darkness in any form can grow stronger if not keep in check
