Darkness

If you look in your heart for darkness

Darkness is what you will find

You can let it outshine your light

Use it to justify the pain you inflict on others

Or you can recognize that it does not define you

For human nature is a duality, torn this way and that

To be one, to be the other, to be both

Being is nothing at all

Because we can all be something

It is our actions that define who we are

Just make sure you can live with those actions

And make damn sure you can live with or without those who are affected by them

They may mean more to you than you ever could have realized

“Darkness”

The Boy

Twelve was not a good year

I had no friends

My grandmother died

My mom's dad was hurt by his own dog

The idea of seventh grade is just a painful thing in my heart

But I did connect with a boy

I was the go-to Zelda girl in homeroom

I discovered my love for science

As thirteen grew closer, my life brightened

I can blame it on my new gang (courtesy of that boy)

Maybe it was beating Zelda finally

But probably it was him

I guess twelve wasn't so bad after all
