The Deception of Falling - 3. Three Sides of the Same Coin

The light of life is very bright.

Even when faced with complete abyssal darkness.

Lift your lantern and hold it high and tight.

And proceed through the night without fright.

------------------------------------

All of the sudden the world isn’t so bright

Absolutely devoid of light

And in the darkness, I develop such a fright

Too many monsters in the dark, I’m afraid to fight

I always seem to lose sight

Something in this world is impossibly un-right

Despairing to their wicked delight

I sink like quicksand into the night

-------------------------------------

The world is full of darkness.

But I do not fear it.

I embrace every aspect of it.

Accepting it, and taking it in.

Allowing it to hurt and ravage my being.

Because how can I truly respect the Light

If I do not know the dark.

So this was originally three different poems I had written but didn't feel like posting them all separately. So I compiled them into one. Their themes were similar enough to almost be recognized as the same poem. But in case you were curious the names of the poems are Light, No Light, and Dark; respectively.
