Understand the Darkness

by Finalgravedigger   Jan 23, 2008


Not clear to the eye
they call it the unknown
many take it as a lie
when the actual sad truths are shown.

The things we dont want the shadows seem to cover
so we run in fear
as one thing we believe is another.

The deep blackness
is only opened to the mind
revealed to those who do not hide
in the scorning light.

Denial flees once we understand
the cold dark truths that are actually at hand.

    Interesting, but a lot of it I really don't understand. I'm not sure why, maybe its just that the transition from one stanza to another is a little too sudden and more should have been written to really get at the point in between. But who am I to judge? Maybe its just the AP English class-goer talking.

    Well this is an interesting topic to write a poem about, I can't say I've read anything like it before.

    "Denial flees once we understand
    the cold dark truths that are actually at hand."

    I thought the pun "cold dark truths" was quite brilliant.

    Keep writing.
