Divided

By Bloodofdeadpoets

I am consumed by darkness yet I worship the light
For it was not my choice to be on this side of the fight
The darkness is full of pain and pressure on my brain
But my lust for the light is causing me such great strain
My heart has been blackened by my souls damnation
But I look at the light and it offers emancipation
My corruption runs so deep that is has become part of me
and the demons in side me blur my vision so i cant see
I am a warrior of darkness yet the light guides my way
So I respect it and do not take many lives during the day
And with all that said and done I have nothing else to say

    The struggle between doing what our inner demons require and what our minds tell us is appropriate. I can get down with that. :)

    I liked the line "For it was not my choice to be on this side of the fight" Itotally relate.
