I have seen the worst
When I entered this world
I entered it cursed
As I've known for many years
I've known since my birth
I was hexed
Before I came to this earth
But as I grew
Everyday seemed to be my end
Isoloated and empty
Loneliness was my only friend
Finding no comfort
Within the light
And as I grew
I grew in the night
Abused by my peers
My soul became burned
Although I went to school
Rejection was all I learned
My misery was thier gain
As they manipulated my every fear
That curse seemed to follow me
Year after year
As I grew older
I finally realized
There was a lot more to life
Than what had met my eyes
It all became clear
And no longer a blur
I didn't have to be
Just as they were
Why were they all the same?
No reason, just because
But seeing this made me realize
Who I really was
I was merely a shadow
Accepting my own doom
Alone on this earth
But one with the moon
Finding no comfort
Within the light
I will always be
A child of the night
And the misery I live with
I may never part
Rejected by the light...
...But embraced by the dark
No one really understands why some people are "goth" (except of course for other goths). But this poem explains why. Some people are just happier that way, they feel a sense of security. Hope this helps people understand. Oh and when I say "goth" I mean REAL goth people not fake ones who do it just for the attention.
