black or white by ~southpawmac:iconsouthpawmac:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Spoken Word




Too long I dared to stare at the light

Where the world’s wolves are out of sight

With blighted eyes I blink to find

Kind, blissful light, you have made me blind


Too long I dared to play with darkness

Where every pain I lost to madness

If I stay would I succumb to your gyrating abyss

Of rage, remorse, and to the Reaper’s kiss?


From then on I stayed in between these hues

Of black and white along pink and blues

Though safe, here I find, gone is my muse

Blind or dead? Now I have to choose.

yep. forgive me.








edit: right. i so need to explain this crap..


1st verse: light stands for happy things.. being cheery and all. but sometimes it's too friggin bright it's blinding us from the tougher realities in life (eew cheesy lol). btw, there's a thin line between pretense and insanity. it's unhealthy to un-see so to speak.

2nd verse speaks of darkness. pretty clear i suppose. reaper's kiss i connote with how death can sometimes be all tempting just so to end rage, pain, whatever.

and lastly, the indecisive, stupid person played safe, went right in the middle only to find herself empty and muse-less. hence in the end, she has to decide where to go..
and now prefers anywhere - but in between.

fickle-minded b*tch.



uh yea nonsense. ^^;
