Darkness inside us
Trying, fighting, to get out
We all must struggle
*
Some contain more light
While others brim with darkness
What makes us different
*
No matter our state
Irrelevant our nature
Choice defines us

I've been thinking back on my philosophy courses from college, and how many philosophers argued about our natures as inherently good or evil, what our natural dispositions would lead us toward. Growing up I felt a strong pull towards the dark, though my choices would not reflect that (I was a bit rebellious, but not anything extraordinary). I've often wondered what the difference would have been had I chosen to follow my natural instincts rather than the counsel of my parents.
