My spirit flickers.
Brief moments of strength
Followed by the threat of being snuffed out.
The shadows of my soul thrive the more the spirit flickers.
Those velvety shadows hold my secrets safe from the eyes of those who think they truly know me.
I welcome the day the flickering ceases and the shadows obscure the spirit that once burned bright.

Seek the truth
But
Dont let it destroy you

Everything in life seems to be driven by one of two things:
Either by fear or by the pursuit of happiness.
