Day two of the second day of the alternative NanoWritMo.
Today’s Quote
“… the dark folk who live in souls
Of passionate men, like bats in the dead trees;” —W.B. Yeats
Rules and Pingback are at Jane Dougherty Writes.
The darkness will out
It is there gnawing at your soul
Taking all your thoughts,
Consuming you,burning you whole
Pushing you on, counting pluses and noughts.
The darkness lies within
Yet it bursts forth when let your guard down.
Making you ruthless making you sin
Like a stone holding you down as you drown.
The darkness inside you shows
The opposite to a Midas touch
Out of you like bile it flows
You use it and need it as your crutch.
All around you dead and dying
Now use for you to be denying
The darkness has sent the evil flying
All lost, your fault no point in crying

Nice construction. I like the switch to rhyme in the last verse.

How can it be wrong? Unless you’re writing a specific form that has rules, a haiku or a sonnet, for example, it’s always right 🙂

“You use it and need it as your crutch.” – and then we blame others.

Sensing it is our fault is like a stone holding us down.
