Once, oh so long ago, when i was less than i am now, with a heart of darkness reigning true, and a mind unlike mine holding fast; it was still me.
Mistakes have been made, commitment has been cast aside, life has been laughed at.
Darkness engulfed my beginning, and its seed will evermore rest within.
A person may change, behaviour may be corrected, thoughts amended.
But the mistakes made, the thoughts thought; they will never be cast aside.
In the past they may rest, looking on, waiting.
However; I know. I know that darkness, the loneliness it would bring.
The mistakes it would make me commit.
I may never truly be of light, no matter how i struggle.
I may never truly leave behind what should be forgotten, its knowledge and pains engraved upon my very soul.
I may never find true peace.
But maybe one day I may find the courage to be an example, a thing to avoid.
A beacon of hope to those struggling, to those who fell back upon their olden ways, due to habbit, insecurity or even fear.
A voice of reason to those still cought in the vicious fangs of this darkness.


I consider this more a philosophical text than a poetic one, but poetry is hopefully close enough as tag?

      Embrace the past, the good and the bad. Mistakes have been done and forever they'll last. Forgetting is a foolish act, acceptance is a must. For that's what makes you to who you truly are.
      The best people are not those who are kind but those who have gone through their darkest times, struggled, and broken free. Those who have managed to redeem themselves from the darkness and became the light themselves like rocks that have been polished and turned into rare gems. coz only they know how it feels to be in the dark and how to lead others out of it.

      *hides + runs away* :p

      True that but for for some it’s in their nature to be one of the two trait~~
      And real life is wildness? Lol it’s controlled madness.... it’s craziness of epic proportions yet managed n contained XD

      I see that you think that humans are inherently dark or something of the sort?
      Well to me everything is relative... not a complete or true moral relativist but I am close enuf ~~

      @Lonelycity you know, some people will automatically bring out your light vibes, while there are others who will bring out the darker side of you.
      But humans need to be dark to survive. It's very easy to talk about light in a city life, but not in the wild.

      @Lurking hmm I’ll say you can never have pure light or darkness, I mean it’s impossible to have one without the other but that doesn’t mean some are more inclined to one than the other~~


      My family has great dollops of darkness(I suppose?) but they are essentially creatures of the light~~

      They have a naturally calming vibe to them especially mom XD

      Also as far as atti is concerned, you just proved my point XD
      You don’t know her, she’s not all sunshine...
      Guess she chose not to open upto you but it’s easy to read between the lines~~

      @Lonelycity I'll repeat what I said, humans are essentially dark. What do you understand by light and brightness personified? I'm not talking about cheerful nature. To me, light means courage, generosity, compassion. The will to help.
      @Lurking, I feel the light only when I'm able to reach out to another being and can let go of my selfish thoughts.

      @SummerForest when do you find yourself illuminated by the light? How can you tell?

      @Lonelycity your family seems like they would set off all my uncanny valley sensors... like atti does. She seems nice but creeps me out big time.

      Twila to call ppl basically dark is similar to calling them inherently brutish and evil as Hobbs said but then there are others like Rousseau who believe otherwise and still others like Nietzsche who believe that morality is an artificial construct...

      Tldr: it’s not as simple as saying one size fits all....
      I know many ppl who seem and might perhaps be light and brightness personified~~

      I for one am the type who feels most comfortable in the twilight or the shadows or pitch darkness but I’ll say my fam isn’t the sort at all?
