The darkness,
Had a view
Strapped, unseen, ignored
Pushed,
Forbidden of its value
I had to see it,
I had to hold it
Before,
It could get too frenetic
You need to find you,
To meet you,
Yes,
There would be
Reasons to rue
But,
Think of,
What has been,
Your virtue
Believing again,
Life,
Has to be about you
Rewriting again,
What was always true
Had this message too
Hidden by the shadow,
That was untrue
I had to read it,
Again I had to foresee
Lest it was too late,
To hold it within me
Yes,
I needed to reclaim me,
From,
The clutches of the dark
Yes,
I needed,
To read life again
To deliver,
It on my benchmark
And,
The measure,
Had to be just me
The darkness,
Has its honest alter-ego
When,
The reclaimed ‘self’,
Sees the light grow
Think negative,
Only to think positive
Be practical,
But live your ideals
Love your ‘self’,
To love others
Life is because you are
Living has the elation
Only if,
You are its expression
Born on a day,
You are life’s celebration
Yes,
I read the darkness again,
To rewrite it,
To go,
Beyond the forbidden
Yes,
Life is about me,
Once again,
Remains unshaken
