Self Reflection

Most of us blame other elements for our failures. But, the change is necessary in us, not them.

O light, where liveth thee?
O light, darkness kills me.
O light, will you ever come?
O light, you only seek some.

O light, why does dark haunt me in your presence?
O light, go away, you have no essence.
O light, I don’t want to talk.
O light, Thou daren’t stalk.

O light, your child is gone.
O light, it’s your time to mourn.
O light, I have joined the black.
O light, Never expect me to be back.

Stop son, for thou shall live.
Stop son, for the life I give.
Stop son, for my angel shall reach.
Stop son, for the good it will teach.

O light, could you shut up?
O light, with dark, I have a sup.
O light, I have left your way.
O light, Not a word you say.

Stop son, I will show the way.
Stop son, at once I say.
Stop son, for I find those who seek.
Stop son, you yourself are weak.
Stop son, you have to open your eyes.
Stop son, only then I could make you wise.
For it is in our hands, to select.
It is purely, ours and our defect.

O light, I am sorry for thee. 
Ill try to be the better me.
For nobody is forsaken, nobody alone.
It is upto us, the hearts we own.

Author's Note

Language of the poem resembles Shakespearean language, but isn't the same.

I feel this would be better reflected...if spoken aloud...by two different people to get the impact for which you wrote this work...you can sense the feel, but loses the effectiveness without the voices to give this an added touch...though I give you a bravo for the presentation as a whole...the beginning of thsi comment is just IMPO...
