KNOWING THYSELF
Michelle A. Bartley
05/25/2K

If you do not know of me
Than you can not know the darkness
Not to the extent of which
You seemingly portray
Only in contrast
Can one realize
The true torment
Encased within.

Can shadows, cast shadows
Revealing the unrelenting starkness
The true place in which
Your broken heart lays
Only with rays of light
Can one surmise
The true lament
Of one's sin.

. . . For those who know their own darkness, know me.

If I do not know of you
Than I can not know of the Light
Not to the extent of which
I seemingly depict
Only in comparison
Can one realize
The true joy
Buried inside.

Can illuminated, cast illumination
Exposing the perpetual night
The true place from which
Hearts and souls conflict
Only in reflection
Can one's cries
Be heard
And not denied.

. . . For those who know their own divinity, know me.
