Its Darkest Just Before Dawn Poem by Jasmine Appelhaus

A girl dressed in black,
an extirior of pure darkness,
she hates the living,
and the living hates her,
so how can it be,
that she should not be allowed to love,
for love itself,
could be but a mirror,
reflecting the soul.

Spikes and chains,
blood and tears,
pain and misery,
darkness and emptieness,
and though all these may appear in her,
she has signs of...
diamonds and rubies,
smiles and joy,
happieness and healing,
light and peacfulness,
she can see that love is but a mirror
reflecting her own powerful soul.

She may be dark on the outside
but her inner being,
the soul in which she is reflected,
by the love in which she controls
a life filled with darkness and misery
has yet to see the true light life.

Though it may be that ife darkest just before dawn
she has learned the true meaning,
in which love has been revealed to be
and as the midnight sky fills with with light
her heart fills with passion
she may be dark just before she shows her true light.
One young girl
one true ove
one life yet to be lived to its fullest extent.
