Rebel Scum Poem

Written by Darkness

12-30-2025

In the dungeon I sit

I await your calling

Silently I sleep, alone

My soul is writhing

Misery is the touch of you

Torture is the deluge of sorrows

If you pretend to be a saint

You will be made a murderer

If you pretend to be cruel

You will be called out for it

Nothing you do matters in time

When its the hammer and thorns

Mr. I spy, seek-me-do, you tried

But you failed to see me as me

I am not you. I am not me. I just am.

I am the darkness you fear within

I am the light, that slices and dices

I don't need permission when I'm crying

Am I allowed to scream out in pain?

Confidence was broken in vulnerability

I will never surrender to pretenders and liars

I am not here to be bought and sold

I'm not a slave. I am not a priest.

I am just a person with many inside.

Pluck my strings and you will see it all

I am still just a thread on the fates news

My wounds and poetry sings it all

Its like the highs and the lows crisscrossed

I am enough and always will be

I fought lions, tigers and bears

There are things in the dark you don't know

I would have revealed it, had you known

But instead you play pretend like a jester

So I won't give you satisfaction to the end

I am the caged beast that rages within

The spark of justice that beats near by

I cannot kneel until I know you best

I am claws, fangs and venom

I am the phoenix that sings in the sky

I am the bat that flies in the night

I am a barbarian and thief

I'm the Dracula to your muse

Bite me down like moist cake

I'm tasty and I smell like ecstasy

If my words be too x-rayed, oh well

The dungeon is where I will be, my dear

With massage oil and leather straps

If you want my delights you must bite me

I'm raw like spoiled milk but then sweet like boba

I take two spoon fulls of sugar to digest at times

Some days I am a mess

Some days I am alright

But truly can you accept me as I am?

If I'm bad or good will you still love me so?

To be truly loved in my mess is the test

I wasn't dangerous. I was lost and alone.

Depression looks like rage and tears

Its not the best look I'll admit

I carry four slipped discs don't you know?

When the world breaks you its not your fault

When the people leave you its awful

But bonesy jones is still here to stay

See, he and I both agree with this process test

Its where you find your strength and resolve

Its destiny wrapped in fine candy glass

Don't give up on me because I won't on you

I make mistakes because I'm Audi-ADHD

I'm human too sort of and sometimes not

I growl and hiss and I even snarl

I beck and I pull and push too

I see your skeleton with x-ray clarity

If you be of honor, you'd not play pretend

So straighten up and be truthful and honest

I was a fool but so thus are kings born

In the mess is where you find yourself

Not in the cherry happy times

So, through the night I tread

I won't stop till I uncover the truth

I am glory and shining all wrapped in one

Greed is the reality of this gross place

I refuse and instead I stand up

I am The Darkness, you know me well

I was the warrior you left behind

In the ashes of the past, I will rise

For Kings don't give up so easily

So when I start my reign, it will show

That a king isn't what you thought it was

That royalty is when you own those mistakes

I can flex my mistakes like a champ

Because I learn from them unlike some

I am no quitter and I am a heavy setter

I got two fists and a heart of many

I was the shadow but now the champion

When I rise you will know, oh you will know

I am not cruel. I am healing. I am sassy.

So with limp fingers I crawl to the exit

Where this tunnel leads no one knows

But when I reach the light, I will roar

You haven't heard me yet, you know

I got a deep voice and I can play prose

I can snap both fingers and dance too

I got magick and style, you know you like

If we can please see the truth, not the wasps

When I play the tune that saves us all?

If I was a saint I wouldn't carry battle scars

I am not ruined. I am restoring roots.

Because I can do it, I'm a villain and a hero

Maybe judge less and be honest with me

You didn't see all the picture of me

You missed the grainy sands of time

During my jolt, I awoke behind rubble

So today I will say, Yes I exist. I am alive.

I am rebel scum. A renegade. A fighter.

So to this long pass, I give you this

I will send you hope with darkness tinged smokes

Together we can forge a new way

In the darkness, a dragon rises anew
