Darkness Within

A darkness has dwelt within me
for longer than I can remember.
It sits, nestled deep,
tempting me with its wares and false promises.
How did I come to this?
How did such a thing go unnoticed?
I claim to be well-knowledged,
yet I overlook a flaw within me so obvious
that it would take a fool to miss it.
What kind of oxymoronical bull***** is that?
I continue to fight it, to keep the rage
and the other manifestations of it in check.
To keep from hurting the ones I care about.
But can I?
I can catch the glitter of sunlight by walking beneath it,
but am I really walking in the light
or is it some delusion I conjure for myself
in a futile attempt to ignore the problem?
Talking doesnt do a damn thing.
All I can do is hopeplead,
To anyone who will listen,
that the only person that gets hurt
is me.
The taint is for my soul alone,
and after that, for the worlds embrace
to smother and leave to be forgotten.
