I Am The Dark Star
A Poetic Soul Purge
Darkness came upon me/ and I had to purge the words from my soul. This is a totally free-form poem, and I feel better for sharing these words with you.
I want my friends to know this is not what I feel, but what I have purged.
Note: These were going to be reused, but now they are not. New pieces will come.

A Darkness Came Upon Me
I Should not be Here
I Bring Darkness To All I Touch
I Have No Friends, Only Fear
I Shine With A Darkness
I Am The Destroyer of Light
I Bring The Storm Clouds
I Put Hope to Flight
I Am The One Who Is Unwanted
I Hold The Sword of Fear
I Am the one you wish was Afar
I Am The Dark Star

I like the idea of using art to purge dark thoughts. This poem came out great Mike, there’s a seriousness to it and a weight that feels almost like a pulse.
You are definitely not a Dark Stay, but one that brings light to what is going on.
