Darkness In the Light

A dark light, in a sea of bright, Uncertainty, Certainly, Inconsistently inclined against the norm, Forcing light to the fringes of dark, Making subtle advancement, Into a land that was not. Now feeling unstable to the point of no recognition, To the point of discomposure, Until thoughts employ emotion, Until engaging one's self, becomes equivalent to vexation, into a world where affection is verboten, and perception of ideology is stigmatized. A dark light, in a sea of bright, Certainty, Certainly, the dark will burn out, And light will shine bright, As the nebulous depressive state, Of which he stands, Will be entirely cast over, By a portrayal of faith, By a true belief, By the optimism of one, As a euphoric ecstasy takes all control, Leaving optimism to combat doubt, And pessimism to absolve confidence.
