***Authors Note: The song I listened to while creating this poem is Dark Side by Kelly Clarkson.***

Darkness and light combine into me,

Pieces of my heart glow amongst the shadows of my soul.

A constellation of broken parts that remind me of the sea.

The depths of the deep waves that blackness stole.

-

To be human is to embrace,

The dark parts of life and set the light free.

Sometimes I feel like I have been swallowed into outer space.

I have learned to live with the empty feeling inside me.

-

Everyone's got a dark side they swallow back.

Allow the light to be the fuel that gets you to tomorrow.

Allow yourself to become like a glowstick when you crack.

Find the humanity amongst the pain and sorrow.

-

But as the moon does, you go through multiple phases.

The trick here is to embrace the golden rays of sunny days.
