There is a fire burning inside of us, and there are of course going to be those people that want to put it out but as long as we know who we are they don't stand a chance.

Black.
It's all I have.
It's all I'll ever know.
Black.
It's hell and heaven.
All tied into a bow.
Black.
It's nothing.
But at the same time it's everything.
Black.
It's death and life,
And hate and love,
And something we'll never learn.

I wrote this poem for a friend of mine who wanted a poem that was "mysterious".
