White

READ BLACK BEFORE THIS. IT WILL MAKE FOR A BETTER READ!!! White Some have seen black They are the ones without hope Run to the light you who are alone Experience white Here you can find peace There pain and turmoil fill the endless abyss Here you will rest If only you choose to follow Hide in the blackness if you must COWARDS! All of you! Too familiar, this blackness And so alienate yourselves Why?!? Can't you see the warmth, the comfort If only you would trust But no, you live In fear and shadow Because you've chosen the darkness Forever will you be in turmoil So easy it could be All you must do is grasp the thread of hope Ah! Only inches from your grasp, Yet millions of miles from your understanding Without understanding, there can be no trust Until you trust, there will be no relief For your weary, aching soul You cry out "Oh to leave this pit and join those who truly know!" You gaze into the white While all of the enlightened ones Stare solemnly back "You have chosen to live in fear and darkness, because you failed to take the simple step of trust, this will be your demise." And suddenly, SNIP!! The thread that once shined In your abyss of despair has vanished And with it your only chance As you cry and moan You hear a voice "Go, warn others like you so they may avoid your fate." Obediently you follow the voice Inside your head Then, the ground has vanished You are tumbling head over heels Deeper into the pit But you no longer care For you avoided.. White
