Darkness in Life

Darkness seems to follow me a lot… a shadow that’s present, even when the light shines through, it never seems to absorb it at all. Darkness is like daylight savings; it starts off and ends in darkness. That hour back barely makes any difference at all. I walk around with my eyes open, but I mind as well walk around with them closed; because at least I know the doors are shut and nobody can see into them.

You see, darkness doesn’t like to leave me alone… it’s like having a stalker and you try to reach out to the authorities… and you beg for their help while crying with tears in your eyes while on your knees… even add a pretty pleas. But, all they tell you is that “there’s nothing they can do because they aren’t making any active threats”. So… darkness has me in a hostage position… starts to mess with my cognition… I’m not a cancer patient, but my darkness has yet to be in remission… but I won’t go to a physician, just for them to use terms to put me in a box with unwanted labels to define me when really my darkness is an acquisition.

So this darkness is my life, I know nothing different… I’m really not trying to be ignorant… I’m not trying to lose interest, but this darkness has a mind of its own and it likes to act belligerent… this type of darkness is not an act but deliberate.
