how does darkness
make death
so appealing
a young girl cutting
a woman aborting
a man escaping
reality
there’s a veil
set in place
with a vision
of paradise
that’s decorated
until chains
set in place
locked in silence
held in isolation
surrounded in love
but on an island
not being able
to swim
to safety
stranded
in the dark
but surrounded
by Light
having to choose
to be free
having regret
looming
to take hold
so many
make the choice
to regret
so many
make the choice
to be freedom
be available
to listen
be coming
in love
be willing
to sacrifice
your opinion
darkness
is an illusion
that’s stepped into
help someone
step into
the Light
