Aphotic meaning dark and insight meaning perception. A poem I wrote about the darkness within ourselves!

As i pace through the dark streets,

the late night hours streaming past me,

the blood in my veins flows through my eager body yearning to be satisfied with the rush of fear.

Cold sweat cascades down my face as my mind wanders into the depth of my thoughts.

I find myself in my own abyss, fear overwhelms me yet it doesn’t overcome me,

while i tinkle in the abyss of my mind I find that I am as malevolent as those who lie, cheat, steal……

those who are willing to take a life without any remorse.

Realizing the malice I encountered within me,

an explosion of rage combined with fear is released in the deepest parts of the city were shadows lurk the night and footsteps are heard in every corner….,

I become one with those of the dark night.

    it was very authentic. although it is a common topic for poems, darkness within oneself, but you had a different point within that and that was the want of fear but the possession of bliss. I liked it.
