I accept that I am a dark man Using accept twice, sounds repetitive
Darker than you Ok, that's a lot of times to say 'dark' in one stanza
Will there ever be light in my life? Not if you accept the darkness...With the given set up of the previous lines, the answer to this question is obvious, and seems counter intuitive to what the voice actually wants. If you accept darkness, and are a dark man, why would you want light?
The light scares me
It empowers my sword weakly What exactly is your sword? Is it a euphemism, or literal?
I must remain in the darkness
My friend, the darkness Darkness combo strikes again! Using other words can help you to create a deeper image of what you are trying to convey. 'Darkness' is only one hue, but when coupled with other adjectives, you can create a multi-coloured masterpiece (I actually like what I just said, and might use it in a poem...)
What kind of darkness? Please, tell me!
Do I dare tell the secret?
It's hard to say
For it is utmost evil
Quicksand
That's the dark source
Girls in it I don't understand this line
Do you judge me?
Masturbation
To the darkness
Sustains my true aura
My true self Redundant, as you've already said 'true aura'
I have shared with you my secret
Do not judge me
For I am just a man
A Dark man
