the dark side of light....

I hated the darkness around me…
I yelled and cried and cried……..
Pleaded for light…. But it never filtered through my window….
Should I change … and embrace this kohl around me…
Should I become the flesh of its flesh...... the blood of its blood……..
I tried ….. but my heart would never let me……..
I wailed… and …. Sobbed…..and then ..
…………………..more of it…..


Only to learn in years …… that it was this darkness that defined me
Only in years ….. I realized…….
I was born to be a star!
