darkness came anyway

by zara - Aries

Pushing the light like fractured glass
out of my eyes was always easy
darkness came anyway
fed by myself and encouraged
by all that I am.
turning away from temptation
like turning the other cheek was always easy
darkness came anyway
attracted like a moth
to a moth, not the light.
Every living breath, held in stasis,
breathing was autonomous, don't think.
darkness came anyway
enraptured in itself,
fed by my need
for all that you are.
Pushing the light from my eyes 
was always easy for someone like me
darkness came anyway
built in from birth
pushing from the inside.

Reason for writing:

    rebuilding my inner analyst. Picture of me.
