The Darkness Within

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Darkness within one will be the destruction of that person

No person is pure,

No person is all good or all bad .

Every heart as scars upon it,

that are wished to be erased,

but can't be.

Those scars are reminders of a

tragic event or

terrible past or

even something completely unheard of.

Which ever it may be

Dishonestly,

Hatred,

and

Betrayal

Are the three things that are what cause the darkness within

The Darkness can not be defeated,

Because it's only part of the human soul

For the heart is like a pearl,

Small and Fragile, and pure

But when tainted with malice and sinister evil,

it becomes black and is no longer pure. Just like a heart!

Long known friends can even turn on you

And crush your heart,

Causing you to suffer,

And slowly hate what was used to be an unbroken bond between friends.

There is no possible way to protect your heart from the Darkness,

For the Darkness comes from within the heart and soul,

And can by the Strongest of will shut that evil out

I pray for the day that there will be such a person in this World!
