Finding the best poem in the Dark Side of Life being able to write other people's stories
Title. Who am I

I know not what I've come to be
But what I was to only be
That of another, one to see
A reflection of what I should be

I searched this darkness for the door,
That holds the light,
In my life's core
I've done things that are unspeakable
But I don't seek forgiveness, nor validation, I'm capable

Though sometimes I feel the eyes of judgment upon me
I do not hold my head in shame, for I am not the only one to blame
Freedom, though they take them there
I see prison, that strange place, to one's mind, body, and soul, a snare

They try to extinguish the fire that burns Within.
Although in many cases, there just adding fuel to this fire, that can never be extinguished.
For they cannot hide this hatred,
That burns so bright.
It cannot dim my will to fight

So in this night,
The wheel of Time,
It does keep turning.
Without pause nor cause, in this relentless cycle,
That mini call life.

I keep learning from these trips and falls, So I can pursue what no man can pursue
An epic story, a unique ending, I'll see it through

For In there Empathy and compassion, they may lack.
Although in my soul, there's no lack
I'll search far and wide, my journey treacherous and long
In my quest I'll touch many lives, and wright any wrongs

So in this final hour, I'll say on to you
Close your eyes and walk away, it is what you must do.

For I am on a path of destruction that only I can tread. In their tails
though it may seem dark, for in their stories.
I will come to feel the light, for all to understand .
The End
