WITHIN YOU WITHIN ME (DARKNESS)

WITHIN YOU WITHIN ME (DARKNESS)

A Poem by KCthelastboyscout
"

Part 1 a study of the human soul

"
This darkness that consumes me...
Consumes us
Where does it come from?
Who placed this seed of evil inside us to root within our hearts?
We allow it to control our better selves
We seek to destroy all meaningful things around us
We are lost in madness

But there is the light
It can be seen in the distance
So why avoid what can be seen?
Why avoid what gives life?
Here, in waiting, is the unknown
Stay in this comforting place
Everything capable of love will eventually end
Embrace where you are
You are already here...

Why is man so fascinated with the beginning of things?

The beginning is the end and the end the beginning- great words and deep thoughts- why people choose dark instead of light they will only know perhaps it’s easier for them to cope reaching for the light and walking it brings many challenges many would rather avoid🌹

Great insight to the beginning and to the end of time when we arrive its fascination then the game begins the beauty should always remain the tough times take upon us but we are the strong fighters

I suppose beginnings are so much more fun than endings, but in endings there is always a beginning too of something else, maybe even better for them hardest part is the in between.

Sometimes we are most comfortable in the most uncomfortable environment or situations because thats all we know and it's terrifying to let ourselves feel anything else. A deep sense of wanting but not knowing where to start . 🤗 Hugs

I've always been fascinated with the end of things. Interesting read. I like the two sides of the coin light and dark of it all. Thanks for sharing.

The poem is beautiful.
I guess i will take your advice on seeing the light rather than darkness in everything. And to be here.

In the beginning there is nothing but possibility that lies ahead. At the end is usually disappointment. Great poem. It makes one think. :-)

This is so relatable and so very true, we are captivated by darkness so easily and choose to ignore the brighter things in life - we can be so self destructive sometimes.

Really enjoyed reading this, I look forward to reading more :)

Here I am again...back at the beginning of this thought...I havent gotten it right yet...so I must start where I found it...within you.

Fear is one hell of a prison.

A lot easier to conform then to open to a higher consciousness.

"you are already here" is the bare naked truth of ones self. Powerful observation.
