Dark is Chiaroscuro

Everyone is drawn to the despair

When bound by light

They want to see your pain -

They yearn to see your fear!

If it's situated just so

They want you to be known -

They yearn to deceive you even more

'til you stand out -

A little too much

and the intensity of your pain is clear

As they experience your narrative

All seems to go as planned,

Boom...

Problems begin to smolder

And it becomes frayed

They seek to bring out the total collapse of your world

They want what they want -

torment and clout

it's highs and lows

Like, follow, comment

as you make a grand display

Bring you to the spotlight

Tip them off -

Their game - IT'S UP!!

You acknowledge them

You assess their true intentions -

And you express your pain

Let be known they're true intent

This is what you are -

This is WHO I AM!!
