It oozed from my nails like blood But darker, no pain, it fell upon the floor It was warm around my toes "It was like a puddle walked after a storm" But then then Lacerations, Irritation, Convulsions As what once bleed from my nails Now pierced my flesh, My body trembled, As I hit the floor, "Shaking uncontrollably" It crept under my skin Burning upon every nerve, but then Pierced, Cracked, Perforated   From under the skin, I touched the first, "I screamed in plentiful agony" As if a raw Nerve had been openly touched, It was like poison ivy, my skin Discoloured veins of Red, Blue, Black Slowly crept over the open wounds, It had moved to my trunk, ***** of black spewed forth"** As it entwined, Like clawed fingers Lacerating my internal organs, I moved back, "Crawled upon the floor" The now solid nerves Scrapped, scratching the wooden boards, It was a  futile act, as if I could escape That which was under my skin, My arms were perforated Upon my throat, veins crept As it knew that if Pierced, Bleed, Breath No more would be had, But each was as if embers of flame Inhaled, exhaled with each painful breath, It crawled underneath flesh, agony Not letting me go, I was conscious "Even though I preyed to pass out" It clawed Slowly, Intentionally, At each eye, like a thousand paper cuts My eyes cried tears of black, As I was shown the darkness within That which had taken form externally, I was Corrupted, Polluted, Distorted Darkness that had crept beneath my skin, And with that I exhaled, "Black feathers spewed forth" Cutting at my throat As I ejected the darkness These black feathers not hitting the floor Instead just floating around, "As I expelled once more" Till one feather of white exited With each touch Black became white, Ever brighter the room became, Like a blanket covering I slept "I awoke" "Under white sheets" "Was this but a dream, a nightmare" "I coughed and exhaled" "A tiny black feather exited" Then I knew that darkness is always inside, But it can grow upon the soul, Cutting into the white, Like a vine corrupting upon the flesh Good, Light, & Bad Darkness, Are things of life But we must never let the Darkness blot out the light and take control of our life.

Darkness From My soul
It oozed from my nails like blood But darker, no pain, it fell upon the floor It was warm around my toes "It was like a puddle walked after a storm" But then then Lacerations, Irritation, Convulsions As what once bleed from my nails Now pierced my flesh, My body trembled, As I hit the floor, "Shaking uncontrollably" It crept under my skin Burning upon every nerve, but then Pierced, Cracked, Perforated   From under the skin, I touched the first, "I screamed in plentiful agony" As if a raw Nerve had been openly touched, It was like poison ivy, my skin Discoloured veins of Red, Blue, Black Slowly crept over the open wounds, It had moved to my trunk, ***** of black spewed forth"** As it entwined, Like clawed fingers Lacerating my internal organs, I moved back, "Crawled upon the floor" The now solid nerves Scrapped, scratching the wooden boards, It was a  futile act, as if I could escape That which was under my skin, My arms were perforated Upon my throat, veins crept As it knew that if Pierced, Bleed, Breath No more would be had, But each was as if embers of flame Inhaled, exhaled with each painful breath, It crawled underneath flesh, agony Not letting me go, I was conscious "Even though I preyed to pass out" It clawed Slowly, Intentionally, At each eye, like a thousand paper cuts My eyes cried tears of black, As I was shown the darkness within That which had taken form externally, I was Corrupted, Polluted, Distorted Darkness that had crept beneath my skin, And with that I exhaled, "Black feathers spewed forth" Cutting at my throat As I ejected the darkness These black feathers not hitting the floor Instead just floating around, "As I expelled once more" Till one feather of white exited With each touch Black became white, Ever brighter the room became, Like a blanket covering I slept "I awoke" "Under white sheets" "Was this but a dream, a nightmare" "I coughed and exhaled" "A tiny black feather exited" Then I knew that darkness is always inside, But it can grow upon the soul, Cutting into the white, Like a vine corrupting upon the flesh Good, Light, & Bad Darkness, Are things of life But we must never let the Darkness blot out the light and take control of our life.
