Dark V.S. Light

by Seley566

Dark V.S. Light We portray darkness as pain and suffering. We view it as a place of evil. But what if that darkness is home. What if that darkness is an escape from the light. What if the light suddenly became portrayed as pain, and suffering. What if light became our evil. A place where light became darkness and darkness became a place of solace, a keepsake, something we hold onto. Light creeps into our dreams, and our minds. Like a parasite latching onto a host for survival, light wants to take over. As it creeps into our thoughts, telling us that light is good, that the light wants to help, wants to keep you safe. Darkness is all you’ve ever known, you haven’t felt pain, and suffering, nor anguish. The light wants to change that, as it watches above like a hawk stalking its prey, or a snake blending in with the shrubs and dirt. How can you trust light, light brings nothing but destruction and annihilation, But… What if the light is what you are missing. That hole in your heart that you could never fill. That craving you’ve been having, but could never satisfy. But in the end, light rejects you and leaves you with nothing.
