Of blackest night and shadowed dreams,
Under the watchful eye of moon,
The world tears apart at the seams,
And everywhere, pieces are strewn.
Desperate, I try so hard,
To fix was has been left for me.
Born of chaos, still so scarred,
I search for something that cannot be.
Each one of them is a part of me,
The blame, the death, even the doom.
Surely not only I can see,  
While some have died, others still bloom.
Not all I create is born of fear.
What about dreams, or soothing sleep?
For those poor souls, I shed a tear,
And for my own, I can only weep.

Another contest entry! This time for #knownames

Theme: Personal Mythology

As the title states, I chose Nyx as my figure to relate to.
In Hesiod's literature, he claimed that Nyx was the mother of many different gods and goddesses, and most them represented awful, awful things. (Death, Doom, Age, Deception, Strife, etc)
Not all of her children were representations of such things though. There was always Sleep, Dreams, Friendship, as well as Day.

How does that relate to me?
Well, at times I feel people see me only for the worst in me and the things I create, rather than seeing the pictures as a whole. Of course, I make mistakes- like anyone else. But a lot of the time it seems what I have created or done holds me back from doing things, much in the same way Nyx was blamed for bringing those gods into the world.

Oh! I also feel like people always hold me responsible when things go wrong or when something doesn't work out.


That explanation failed.
What i mean to say is that a person should speak for themselves, and people should not judge based on their actions or associations. I find that at times because I'm an atheist people assume I'm a terrible person or the likes. Simply not true. Nyx may have been the mother of such gods, but that means nothing compared to her power.

Even if that doesn't make any sense, I hope you like! :D
