The darkness lay dormant inside me, <br />quiet and patient, <br />it sits and it waits. <br />It waits for a time <br />when it can be released <br />it waits for a time <br />when it can be free. <br />Could it be now? <br />or Could it be later? <br />Who knows..... <br />who can predict <br />when at last <br />it will be free. <br />But how do you know? <br />that its not already free, <br />that it doesnt lay dormant <br />but it thrives within me. <br />Is there a darkness in you~ <br />does it lay waiting inside <br />or do you run from it, <br />do you try to hide. <br />Try as you might <br />there is NO escape <br />there is only acceptance, <br />for that is your fate, <br />you must live with the darkness <br />until your final days.<br /><br />Joseph Rambeaut<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkness-inside/
