Life

you go through life and do your best people think they know you, their perceptions clouded by unreal expectations but really what do they know? nothing, not one solitary thing, so they make up stories to appease their withering lives. every person has two sides, dark and light, there is a duality ruled by the balance of darkness and light one side we show the world, the other we keep hidden inside. each of us, two people struggling with a past, present and future, our past is a tricky thing etched in stone rendered soft in our memories, our present, tinged with the powerful knowledge of what has been said or done, the future, ah the future, the unknown, striving to make it grand by the present and past and how we make our stand. our present and future have many paths, one wrong turn, one twist of fate and its back to the starting point. one step in any direction can change the course of your life forever. but, even the most powerful darkness can be defeated by the tiniest spark of light, for someone lost in darkness, a glimmer of kindness can be the beacon that guides them home.
