The World of the Dark

In a world where dark and

light crash...

it's funny how

things come off as forbidden.

How two sides of one story,

can change everything.

The moon,

and the sun...

they use the same light.

Reflected.

So dark isn't

that awful after all.

It's hard to explain,

being trapped in the middle.

I ache and crave

for something more.

To see the light with my own eyes.

To feel its warmth.

But here in the dark...

it's poison for the mind.

The word of the shadows is

addicting.

Enticing.

Transfixing.

And once you go too deep,

the more difficult it is to leave.

Over time,

they forget their humanity.

They lose their sanity.

And when a ray of

light touches

their pale skin-

a piercing scream

emits from their lips.

We do not belong.

And no one-

no one understands.

Everyday,

we continue on in pain.

Waiting until we can

disappear again.

Hoping we never have to

come back.

To a world where

the light

blinds our eyes,

to a world in which all we do

is hide.

And curse the poor souls

who try to help us.

We are lost.

Gone.

And though we try,

we are never coming back.
