Entrancing Darkness (Second Version)
I am the balance of light and dark,
While I am still that of soot and coal.
The coal deeply crimson in it’s black,
The soot ever present upon my back.
The light inside me shines dim,
Yet bright, though I try to hide it away from sight.
I am darkness,
But I am filling with small light.
Though it may be bright,
I’ll quash it with heinous delight.
I’ll snicker when the flame is finally extinguished,
Though I had wished it would put up a fight.
The coal paints me,
It dyes me black.
The soot as fine as sand,
Could never change me back.
Though I would never have it,
Losing my base for attack.
I do sincerely wish,
That the light has fought back.

I love it, it seems like it has a deeper meaning. And its so wonderful.
It sounds like the inner you the person you wish to be is comming out but like you have accepted the person you acctually are so it cant, but you stil wish it would. Or maybe its something totally different, idk my perspective on what it means.
Check out some of my stuff, i dont have a lot though.
