'Tis the sweetness of the dark
That entices those poor souls
Towards its hidden depths

'Tis the beauty of the evil
That tempts those broken souls
Towards its darkest point

'Tis the artistry in the murder
That draws those twisted souls
Towards its sinking heart

'Tis the life in the battlefield
That lures those dying souls
Towards its tearing centre

'Tis the smile in the psychopath
That attracts those lonely souls
Towards its destroying core

'Tis the light in the dark side
That brings those wounded souls
Towards the inevitable end
'Tis the light in the dark side...

It's the beauty in things that attract us. It's human nature to gravitate towards the things we find enjoyable, beautiful or satisfying. It's in everyone. Sometimes we gravitate towards things society deems 'good' and sometimes there are those, like me, who turn to those things that society would shun and hate.

There's something good in everything that happens. Even the bad stuff. There's always a ligth side to the dark, a beauty in the evil and a smile on the psychopath's face. There's always a good side to every bad thing that has, is or ever will happen. It's two sides of a coin - you can't have one without the other. Some things may seem utterly evil and people are unable to see the good in them. But there are those who can see them. Who can see past the evil and can see the good.

Not everyone is so sane. Not everyone is as normal as society would like. There are those who can see past the stupidity or society and its stupid rules, and its cliches and demands. There are those who can see the world for what it really is, hidden underneath a layer of beauty and goodness. They can see the darkness, and are inevitably drawn to it.

People call them weird. Strange. Odd. Crazy. Mental. Psycho. Psychotic. Mentally disabled. Nuts. Different. They just can't see the truth that's staring them right in the face.

Wow, me again, I just love your writing style... Kind of like Shalespeare with the nostalgia of Oscar Wilde, seasoned with the vision of Emily Dickingson, mixed with the depth of William Blake, but most importantly,... This seems to be sooo YOU, that I cannot say anything better than "It is beautiful". You had a stamp which I am going to semi-parapfrase : "Beauty doesn't even begin to cover it". KEEP MAKING MORE AND BETTER EVERY TIME!!!

P.S. I'll add you as a watcher, no ill intentions implied or underlaid.
