Written for Sherri Gibson's Coloring The World Contest, using her prompt -

THE DARK SIDE OF ME

There are times when storm clouds gather
and I feel the urgent need to rant and rave,
times when the dark side of me is showing
and pure venom spurts out from this slave.

A slave to wicked thinking for a moment,
when I feel the pangs of anger and hate.
There are some things I cannot forgive -
but I must, now before it is way too late.

There is a war between good and evil,
much better that goodness wins the war.
The darkness is overpowering my soul
and it's not at all what I'm looking for.

To walk in light is such a great blessing,
to feel release of all that hurt and pain.
The anger soon will ebb away from me
and I will be free from the darkness again.

It takes a lot of praying for forgiveness
and a lot of deep breathing to endure,
it takes some faith in all my tomorrows
to live a life that is peaceful and pure.
