The Truth
i am alone
for i am the only one who can see
this horrible, tragic truth
but, with enlightenment brings darkness
and for all i see, darkness entwines with me
and fills my soul with its presence
quenching the light till i am almost blind
yet the darkness grants knowledge
the price of this knowledge is slavery
of your body, mind, and soul
so if you dare, you can stand beside me in darkness
for i am alone
