A thought provoking poem.

Darkness.


When darkness comes and silence arose
The beat of my heart became so shallow


The smell of fear is all I perceive
Anger arose within me and my pain conceal


The man in the mirror is scared
Darkness has taken a toll, leaving me benign

I looked around, I see no one
My works are done, and I have lost


My shames and my glory all before me
There's nothing I can do, than sit or dive in


The arrows of revenge rage
Suddenly It's like I could fight again


Still I looked around and found no one
My works are done and I have lost.

How did I get here? I asked myself
I used to be king, my palace right here.

I have slaves, I keep maids
My yards are big, but now they're fade

Was it not I? I could look dragon in the face
I have many kingdoms, I wipe nations in a gaze.

I never dwell among the peasant, I was power
But darkness has taken it toll, as higher as I was, I am lower.
