The Darkside
Life is cursed by the darkness of your own sins, they say,
the ghosts from your past that haunted you down for decades are back.
They want nothing more from you than pure evil revenge,
to get back at you for your own mistakes.
No one can help you, not even the law,
justice will not be served you today.
You are the only person capable of saving yourself,
perhaps if you tried harder to drag yourself out of this mess.
Then appears opportunity,
at the right place and time, illuminating your life with hope.
Do not hesitate not here, not now
if you have the faintest idea of what's to come.
This is just the start of an everlasting battle,
but the twist is you have a chance to forfeit.
Forfeit now or forever stay silent,
for this is the only chance of survival.
Life is a battlefield, they say,
I couldn't agree more.
Fight for your rights or forever stay guilty,
for life does not provide more.

I just want to focus my poetry on lifestyle's other than my own because I feel that there is a need to comprehend that not all individuals are privileged like I am, allowing me to feel sympathy for them. In this poem the "ghost from your past" are metaphorical for challenges in life and "hope" symbolises your loved ones who are always there for you in this rollercoaster of a life.
