WITHIN YOU WITHIN ME (DARKNESS)

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?

My best attempt at writing something philosophical

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🌹

"Here, in waiting, is the unknown"

This line sent shivers up my spine. Very potent. I really enjoyed your "philosophical" side! I hope we get to see more and more! Well done!

I loved this piece..We seek to destroy all meaningful things around us We are lost in madness...I agree with your thoughts..It was so deep and meaningful poem..Great read...Darkness seems more comfortable because finding light needs surpassing many hurdles and challenges on our way to reach light...I loved the way you expressed your thoughts..
Keep writing..

I think man is so consumed with the beginning because he fears the end,but does it ever really end? Im consumed in the circle of it. I'm rolling round. I more worried by the nature of it and shant we all be? love never ending, life never ending....

We seek to destroy all meaningful things around us...We are lost in madness. This is the most accurate things I see in humans today. Great job!

Why is man so fascinated with the beginning of things?...that dear poet is a loaded question. I think I will be coming back to review this. There is alot to think about here....it requires much contemplation.

I mean, now that I've posted about steaks, will you cook me one eagle scout? I like it medium rare! Thx!

[LazerRays]

Well, sometimes it comes from eating too many tacos and getting gassy. Other times it's human nature turned savage
(like when you smell a juicy sizzling steak. I'm reaaaally hungry! Wait- do vegetarians feel the same feeling when mowing the lawn?)

[Eris Marriott]

Absolutely adore the subject and the execution you've put forward to portray this question of darkness within humanity. That last line is particularly wonderful as well. Lovely work!
