Note: This is a story about Raven and her powers. I was feeling very "Raven-ish" one day and wrote this. Just wanted you to know that I'm not always this dark.

A Power Within

Darkness
Trapped inside
A confined space

Darkness
Which needs
An infinite amount of room
Is confined

Trapped
With no way to get out
No exits
No entrances
Just there
Growing
Growing

Darkness
Becomes too much
Pain
Suffering
Loneliness
Becomes too much

Darkness escapes
In the only way possible
Through the soul

Darkness erupts
From a confined space
Destroys everything in its way
Including its captor

Darkness
Blackens the soul
That once confined it

Darkness
Turned the soul dark
Influenced the life
Of the one
Who held it inside

Darkness
Is a weapon
Used against those who fear
The dark

But darkness
Has one fear.

Itself.
