"do you have what it takes?" -to simply put it, no. i am a failure in darwin's eyes, a freak to show. there's no spark of flame in me, no catalyst for innovation. i just lie in a sort of dull pain, lost in translation. not quite meant for this life, maybe there's another. the sun flares up at me, and all i want to do is duck and cover. i am the moon on a black night, when there are no specks of silver or wisps of angel breath to accompany me. my light is not mine, i am not a child of clarity.
