Into Darkness, I Fell
May 14, 2024
Into Darkness, I fell
Trying to chase the Light
Only, how could I tell
Which way was right?
A life filled with pain,
Could have been avoided
Now I wait in vain
For a love that’s dead
Into Darkness, I fell;
From the Light I rise
I have witnessed Hell
With my own two eyes
We are born in Darkness;
As will we die
We must spend our lives
Following the light

This poem is intended to construe the concept of how our choices impact our lives, down to the most minute decisions we make. Some may go down the wrong path, take company with the wrong people. Some may even spend their whole lives ruminating over one event, or person, unable to let go and move on. Hence the concluding quatrain of the poem that essentially states “We are born in darkness, and we will die in darkness, so we must spend our lives focusing on the good things, and trying to achieve greatness.”
