Unreleased

So today im sitting here 
Brooding, Pondering 
about things and words 

I sit in a dimly lit room and wonder
Why is it so dark in here
and why so light outside?

Cause darkness seems to follow me 
And in a way im embracing the isolation that comes along with it.

See yesterday sat painted for the first time in a long time 
in the same dimly lit room
Today only to discover that 

what i had painted 
Looked like a rainbow 
and i didn't even know it 

Im thinking about things that i know are fact 

A few of which are.

Without dark there would be no light 
and in the end every color in the world eventually turns to black.

So now im wondering,
Is it bad to sit alone 
Here, In my dimly lit room?

Or is it a natural progression of things
And maybe, Just maybe the darkness inside of all of us 
Is really what makes the light 


For there is beauty in the breakdown
