The world may be silent, but my mind is deafening... Oftentimes, the loudest and most depraved voices come not from others but from within you.
There are different types of craziness. Not all of them are bad. I'd say some of them are admirable in the right circumstances.
In this world, there are some who devour the depraved shadows that stain the souls of others in order to bring forth light and hope. When we see them surrender themselves towards the darkness they've embraced, do we call them martyrs or sinners? Or perhaps they have no names, for their souls have now become remnants of depravity.
Fools believe that love is the purest form of warmth and light. However, the wise know that love can become the most corrupted and depraved shadow that stains your soul.
A sacrifice borne out of love can bring forth both the brightest light, and the darkest of shadows.
My kindness is selfish. My 'sacrifices' are expressions of my greed. There is no such thing as sacrifice when it comes to my desire to protect the hearts of those I love. True sacrifice would be to watch those hearts break as I stand by and do nothing. I am greedy with my love, as ultimately everything I do is for the sake of my heart. Call my love a sin, call my heart depraved, call my soul corrupted - I will willingly submit myself to the degeneration of my nature and call this my purest sacrifice. All to give my people the love, the light and the warmth they deserve.
It is in the midst of despair, in the depths of degeneration, in the shadows of depravity, that we are able to comprehend the true nature of peace and purity. For the shadows do not exist to make the light shine brighter, but to ensure that light exists.
It is through witnessing the complete depravity of life, that one may see the purest light the world can offer. However, this can only be done at the cost of tainting one's own heart. Alas, such sacrifice is necessary, but many are unable and unwilling to bear it. Tell me, should one go so far to seek the truth of all that is evil and all that is good? Must one truly comprehend the darkness of the world to understand the true light that exists?
Every gift is borne out of sacrifice. Life, is the greatest sacrifice of which humanity is the witness, the sacrificer, and the sacrifice.
Only the wise understand that even purity is a form of depravity and corruption.
Everything comes at a price, including purity.
To rid the world of its depravity, is to rid the world of its purity. The shadows exist, so that light may be borne.
My kindness is selfish and depraved. I'd forsake the world, forsake my soul, forsake all serenity, to ensure you remain pure. Perhaps my sacrifices made out of love have become unholy and corrupted, but this is the purest gift I can ever place in your hands.
True depravity comes not from surrendering oneself to the shadows of life, but by closing ones eyes to the inevitable darkness that exists.
If one cannot resist the degeneration of life, allow me to devour it all, let me take its chains and wrap it around my soul. Let me guide this despair and degeneration into something the world can handle. The shadows need their God; and so I shall be one. An evil you choose, is better than an evil you cannot choose.
Just like how an anchor must sink to keep the ship ashore, the shadows must drown in despair to keep the light afloat.
The hope that lives within me is a vicious monster that seems to only become an angel one out of a hundred times. It is the heaviest shadow that lingers on the edge of my soul, painting my heart with black and white colours.
Perhaps the greatest sacrifice is to bear the sins of love. For love, we are willing to forsake the world, including ourselves. Such precious form of purity, created from the depths of depravity - we willingly cradle the shadows of the world, sacrificing our blood, body and soul, to banish all evil from the ones we love.
Many claim that darkness chases them, no matter how fast they run and no matter where they hide. But what they don't know or refuse to accept, is that they have been devouring the shadows in an attempt to view the light in all its glory, drowning in the depths of depravity.
Are you running away from darkness, or are you running towards darkness? Many of us do not know the answer to that, but I hope you find your answer soon.
Words, once they leave your mouth, no longer belong to you. Meaning, once conveyed in words, no longer belongs to you or contain the purity of your thoughts. One can only wish the other party may understand what you try to say. Stories as well, can be manipulated once said. The best thing one can do is maintain the purity of their minds despite hearing their words back tainted with madness.
One can only see the light best from the shadows.
The shadows do not seek forgiveness, redemption, or praise for building a home for the depraved.
Only by submitting oneself into the depths of despair, can one learn to remain calm within the sea of depravity. Fools who avoid the shadows will forever be haunted by the darkness, while those who have witnessed the ultimate degeneration of nature will understand the sacrifices required to unveil the light in this world.

Feel free to add your thoughts below! Haha did this really quickly as I was really inspired and honestly I'm too lazy to edit them.
Take care my fellow beyonders, and may you all find serenity despite the darkness of the world that occasionally finds its home within your body, mind and soul.
