Jack Skellington (Inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas)

My life was steeped in darkness Twisted trees blackly cracked the grey sky I didn't know there could be such brightness Until I found that place That place of colour And light And fun And love I wanted it I'd always wanted it Without even knowing what I wanted I tried to bring brightness to my twisted world I strived for so long and so hard But they couldn't understand And the brightness was lost to all Only then did I understand I was the darkness The darkness was me And that was okay Because the world needs darkness But it also needs brightness So I returned to darkness And let the brightness shine without my corruption But a little brightness shone in me
