# Darkness and Light

So, I just had the idea to write this. It is not my best work, but I am pretty proud of it. Let me know if you like it!
Why did I write this? Send me a note if you want to know.

Born in darkness,  
Raised in light,  
Returning to my comfort,  
And loosing the fight.  
  
The darkness I see,  
My friend I perceive,  
In truth, my enemy,  
Bringing death to me.  
  
I grow weary of the dark,  
The stifling enemy that binds;  
I would replace with light,  
The light that strengthens minds.  
  
Inside me lives a beast,  
And rages mortal war.  
The world in which I live,  
Is threatened more and more.  
  
Why do I deprive myself,  
Take away my joy,  
And live with doubt,  
Or live without,  
The light of life employed.  
  
In the corner that I live,  
It kills in increments,  
Escape is what I will find,  
But now I build my battlements.  
  
I'm sick of running,  
And sick of hiding,  
I need a way out,  
My time, I am done biding.  
  
But, what can I do,  
What can bring me health?  
This Devil may be small to you,  
But to me is death itself.
