The Darkness' Hold
The darkness has a tendency to distort and influence your thoughts. When you
are in the light, the darkness has no control over you. Once you return to the
darkness, the light is of no aide. The light brings about peace, and the darkness
brings about uncertainty. Things which seem fine during the day appear distorted
at night. I don’t know if it is because of the loneliness and solitude found at night,
or if it is because the light is nowhere to be found. Either way, I always dread
those hours spent in darkness. My mind races and my heart hurts of uncertainty.
I doubt myself and I fear that which, during the day, gave me little grief. There is
no way out of the darkness, and the only way to come to terms with and deal with
it is to realize that it has no power over you. It is only an illusion that your mind
perceives as a reality. This false reality only has a hold on you whilst you allow it
to. Once you let go of the fear, the darkness loses its power.
