If you like some twinkles, like the moth you may burn,
in a light that lustres, because you want to learn,
from that guiding beacon, that flashes at you,
all alluring, but maybe; it has something blue,
it could bear some horrifying ill will,
such as eating at your identity, it’s evil meal,
replacing your views, with the mob mentality,
so, that you and your new friends can cause a fatality.
I know, it looks beautiful, so many colours,
but, why should you be like all the others,
thus, ignore that light, that could be the lie,
the reason, that tomorrow you die,
so why not look, to the other side,
it will be your deed alone, so be full of pride,
as in darkness, things are bluntly honest,
for it has for you, no single promise,
it is just there, ready for you to stroll,
there will be no guidance, you are in control,
as in the dark, you can make your own way,
to create your version of a brighter day,
though go easy, you do not want to turn into god,
for in your mind, that will make you feel odd,
your reflection; will be foreign, so full of hate,
making you think, should I have opened this gate?
So, consider this a test; of cerebral strength,
the result, the measure; of your true length,
but then perhaps, that shine; makes its return,
a warm welcome back, for you to discern,
of what is good, what is bad, for your existence,
but whatever you do, continue with persistence.

- Comment from author about the poem: Light or dark? It is an age old decision, though realistically, we all have both sides within us. However, the only thing that really matters, is the faith you have in yourself, in order to make the right decisions that are right for you. This poem is also loosely inspired; by the Kingdom Hearts video game series, where this decision is a focal point in its plot. Accompanying the poem, is a piece of computer art from Seffson from DeviantArt, entitled “Antiform”, and it shows the protagonist Sora, with both his light and dark sides. I hope that you enjoy the poem, and as always, please stay safe everyone.

Good write AS.
Thanks for the read orchidee, I hope that all is well!
The light and dark
The part of me
Like two sides of same coin
Moving in spree
On which side will it land
Good or bad
Happy or sad
At the end it will only be me
I mess up with life
To pester it
To what fate throws
I shall continue to fight
Loved the way you wove such beautiful insights
The dilemmas running in mind
Turning and twisting with the wonderful words you string by

Thanks for the read Andy, and yes, may our own lights, and "our hearts be our guiding key" (from Kingdom Hearts).
I hope that all is well!
I agree. We all have dark and light. A balancing act. Sometimes the scales tilt a bit more to 1 side. Then a correction. Excellent poem.
Thanks for the read Rozina, and I'm glad that you've hit the nail on the head; regarding the importance of the balance of things.
I hope that all is well!
