Illuminating The Darkness Within (A Caprice STARBRITE and Phoenix, The Reborn Duet)

Dark Rain creating a Bleakness deep within,

I Stand and Walk Alone Life's Black and Narrow Hall.

A Dismal Frame of Mind that is Comfortable as it suits me perfectly

For it reflects what is in My Heart.

I am a Machine; Unfeeling and Emotionless.

It's Non-Conformity at its best, making me Soulless.

I Love the Cold, for it keeps me warm.

Yet there is something inside of me, fighting to come to the surface...

Fighting with the strength of ten thousand minions

Scratching and clawing at my soul

Wondering if there will ever be any light that so many have spoken of

Draining me from life’s riches

Running from and to myself for refuge

I want to feel the light on my skin, basking in the greatness of its power...

I Keep Hope around my finger,

To Light my Dark Hours.

This is Illumination in its simplest form;

A Grand Force to be acknowledged by all.

You lit one candle in the Dark Room in My Head,

Showing me the Right Way Out of my Mindset.

The Black Clouds are lifting slowly

As the Light breaks its austere mannerisms,

Shining Brightly and Ushering in Blinding Utopia.

My Utopia is unmatched by the blinding of the darkness

For it is unforeseen by most that light can brighten the darkest of days

Emerging fully reborn from my cocoon

Stretching, reaching towards the powerful force

I don’t look back on what was, but what I am to become in the light

Using the light as my shield to guide me through

I will battle those entities that try and block me

Forcing me to see their wrath

Striking them with blow after blow

As I continue on my journey towards the light

The Darkness in the Light has faded;

A clear cut indicator that together We Made It.

Born anew in this World, the Lit Road is before us.

The Shimmer reflects on our Complexion,

As it Whites Out the Dullness of our Shadows.

I did not forget the Darkness; I am merely casting it aside

To see the Star Light Road that I wish to Ride.

A friend taught me to fight the Dark in order to see the Light,

For I can see a Brighter Future; Mentally and Emotionally Set things Right.

The Route is placed before me, It is now my Call.

Do I walk the Positive Trail, or traverse the Dark Hall?

Questions placed before me with answers already answered

I need not begin to question my path for I know where I need to be

Reveling and learning from the darkness is the only way to see the light clearly

Once you have opened your eyes to truly see, then you have arrived

Remembering and never forgetting

That the light and darkness go hand and hand

And guides us to a better understanding of self
