Pain?
A poem or story will do. Make believe or not. I don't really care. Just put meaning and emotion in it. And go all out.

Dark In Lightness

So dark in lightness

My mind like a storm

Its clearing imminent

Still drowning life with thought patterns in swarms

Cackling laughter

And profusely shed tears

As if joy was a person

And depression her attachment and fear

Thoughts of wonder

Delight and misery

Anger in gratitude

I create like some sort of witchery

How can I be

But not all the same

Each day feeling reset

No pause in this game

A level higher

I seek to climb

But as I ascend

The deeper I dive

Into a darkness

Cast obscurely aglow

Runes familiar

They say you reap as you sow

And so I see

Or at least I listen

All I know is my breath

And I inhale as if it my soul mission

So dark in lightness

Maybe it’s balance I crave as I swing

The clouds always part

The sunlight sparkles in the spring

As the frost begins to melt

Nature assures its return

Ebbing and flowing in evolution

In its fluctuations I’m beginning to learn

I honor my darkness

I respect my light

I embody it all

So with my soul I may reunite
