Serenity (A hero's Journey)

Darkness

Hi! This is Haley. I know I have a Maximum Ride FanFic out and I haven't really been working on it but I've just been so busy but It WILL yet finished. I had this idea out of no where and this is of my own creation so all rights go to me. Hope you enjoy!!!

Darkness. You enter this world in darkness and you will eventually exit the world in darkness.

So what is darkness anyway? 

The internet reads it as an absence of light or a force of wickedness and evil.

Some people believe it to be moments of unhappiness and distress, others think it to be secrecy or mystery.

So What is the purpose of darkness?

Well, we need it to feed our spirit, protect our health, and the health of our planet. Light at night may be a sign of life on earth, but the Darkness will proclaim our true intelligence.

At least that's what Google says.

I don't know what I believe Darkness to be. Maybe It's all these things and more. no one's to sure anyway. 

So why am I talking about it like I can actually provide an answer at the end.

I don't know. All I know is that my non- blood related Family insists on celebrating my birthday with every possible activity I could possibly love.

I'm hiding in my room for now, but they'll find me soon. Then I'll have to go back to playing a smile on my face when deep deep deep down inside I'm having the worst day of my life.

Yes You're Birthday is supposed to be the highlight of your year, but why?

Oh Yeah 'cause your being celebrated by your friends and family.

Well this is the first time I've actually celebrated my Birthday on my Birthday.

Before today I didn't know the date of my birth, So I kind of came up with my own birthdate.

The thing that really bothers me though is that my family went through all this trouble to find out when I was born and I haven't really been he most pleasant person to be around these past few months.

I know Serenity means peace and calmness, but all I feel right now is anger and a whole heck of a lot of sadness.

My name doesn't even mean anything to me anymore.

It used to be everything, but now... I think I've gotten used to all the Darkness being inside me for so long that I can no longer see any light.

 Maybe that's what it means.

Maybe Darkness means the sins and rage, Betrayal and murder that lurk beneath even the kindest and warm hearted person you know.

I wonder how my sister's doing. I mean this must be even more hard for her.

But I know she wants to be alone right now.

You know in some way we are all alone. We are all alone in the Darkness.
