A Darker Thought Mattered
The light promises to fade
As the dark encompass do we try to see
There are doubts we cannot just shake
How shadows only tease for what could be
It is easy with the aid of light
Be it hard truths or comforting lies before our eyes
Harder as with the shade of night
Where once truth will cast doubt as with deceptive lies
And I embrace the dark that never mattered
It’s simply how the light no longer make sense
To be more torn than darkness catered
To finally see what light will never lend
How it strikes me hard yet as pure
The need for balance from learnings untaught
A one-sided path whether which only paves to endure
A life accepting and dismissing without thought
In darkness… the light is dead
Unable to see… we feel
Because the darkness will fade
To have light when we already knew
……………..
