In the cover of darkness
I'll hide from the light
I'm too afraid to see
What I really am inside
In the cover of darkness
I'll hide from my own sight

I'm too afraid to see
What I am and
What I've become
Something deep inside of me
Tells me, "run, run"

In the cover of darkness
I'll hide from the light
I'm too afraid to see
What I really am inside
In the cover of darkness
I'll hide from my own sight

As a child I was told
I would set the world on fire
That is my only goal
And as the fire burns and
The world turns
I'll remember to take shelter
In my cover of darkness
This pain will burn like the ambers
Of the fire; eternally I am burning

In the cover of darkness
I'll hide from the light
I'm too afraid to see
What I really am inside
In the cover of darkness
I'll hide from my own sight

I'm too afraid to feel
What I know in my heart
Is right

okay tell me what you thought. the "light" represents the truth and the dark is the lie, in the poem i think you can see how its easier for the subject to hide in the 'dark' (lies) then the 'light'...idk, not my best work but some comments would be very well appriciated :)

That is really good! I wish I could write that good.

lol awww thank you...

if you have anything you've written i'd love to read it, and give you some advice and tell you what i think...just PM me anytime ;]

your welcome...

Bye,
Janell

;) anyone else have some comments?

it was okay, not the best ive ever seen. i didnt like the part thats "something deep inside of me tells me run run" It seemed out of place...something else there would be better. Otherwise it was pretty good.

thanks...its not my best writing, i dont like to put stuff on sites that i really love or is really good because im afraid someone will steal them :(
