Darkness Calling......

Sometimes in my sleep I do hear it calling,

I always did hear it call me,

As a kid I feared it very much,

but it just called me!!

I would wake up in cold sweat,

it would just be me, there alone in the dark,

and I would hear it calling me,

calling ever so softly,

calling me towards it…

so I just did what I thought was to be done…

Just part ways with it…

Just like I did with most of the things…

Go with the light….

So easily did it not give up on me…

Cause it would follow …

And it would call..

It still does…..

In a certain way ...

I know its has a deep quality,

Oooh so the dark quality….

I feared it …

And I feared it…

And I was running away from it…

I still sometimes run away from it….

It would haunt me…

It would follow me…

it would still not give up on me

in a certain uncanny obsessive way

it would still follow me..

it did so till I decided to see it…

it did so till I heard its voice…

I started listening to it hard

so that its soft whisper could I decipher….

Oooh what I heard.. is all vile…

but yet ooh so tempting was it go that way…

was it not what they say…

the dark side has a certain seductive way…

I heard it soon.. clear was it now…

And it did not seem sooo dark..

as I had feared it soo much to be…

It was maybe just trying just to be heard..

As I was trying so many years…

It was then that I realized..

That it was not very different than I

It was the very deep inside of me…

That I was just not ready to see…

Was it the growing voice in me…

Not the darkness that I thought it to be…

But just some deep thought that we …

As people.. as society so don’t want to think and be…

Yes they were me..

They were very much me…

It was the darkness within me…

And that’s what I did not see…

For so long all I did was run away from me…

But when I did acknowledge that within me…

Was it not a part of me!!!

Today I hear it still..

Sometimes in soft whispers

Sometimes in screams….

Today when the darkness calls me..

I take time to listen to it…

Sometimes hear what it says..

Sometimes just ignore what it means…

I hear it calling me…

Today I differ with it….

And I do not run away from it….

As I know it not a alien thought outside me

just a deep dark me.. calling ME!
