Give in to the Darkness

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

Give in
to the darkness 

let it spill out 
bleeding 
upon the page

Let the darkness 
soak into the paper 
as it leaves you

Leaves
your heart 
your soul

Use the pages 

release 
the darkness within

Give in to it

Write what 
haunts you
scares you

Let those feelings 
go 
where they may

untethered 
unrestrained

get it out

Then let it go
