Call Me Dark

I dare you

Painting by Original Worlds (Ira Robinson).

---

Call me dark

call me down.

---

Say I'm a monster,

and throw shame on me.

---

You think you can do whatever,

as long as it doesn't hurt you.

---

You want me to be your evil,

you want to make me stalk the night

like some animal

you can hunt.

---

You can say I'm a monster,

and throw stones at me.

---

You can hurt me,

but know that I'll fill the role

that you gave me,

and bite back.

Author’s Note:

When it came to me in my seemingly endless feed, this painting really stuck out to me as something darkly beautiful and oddly similar.

A familiar face that was someone like me, but all new.

Like me, she had a story to be told, and I told it.

I hope you have enjoyed what I have brought to you!

Before you go, here’s a question for you to ponder:

If we make monsters, what does that make us?
