You cannot hope
to drive out the darkness
in others
without first understanding
the darkness
within yourself.
How are we
to ask another
who hides who they are
to love us,
when we are too busy
masking who we are?
Be warned;
often
the tortured
become the torturers.
Do not fall
into that cycle
of shadow.
~LT
“often/the tortured/become the torturers.” Indeed! Great poem!
