It's true,
We are all equal parts dark and light.
But the dark isn't all bad.
You may see it as ugly.
You may see it as evil.
But it can be beautiful.

The darkness at midnight on a country road.
Void space behind the eyelids when falling asleep.
Shadows flitting across rooftops.
Black ink slipping and stalking across a page.
Interstellar light-years where no sound can be heard.

I concede, darkness can be ugly.
But beauty comes hand in hand.
For example, the brilliance of a dying star.
The radiance of a dancing fire.
The rhythm of gunfire...

I have made a morbid point.
But a point I have made.
Besides...
I actually prefer the shadows,
The sunshine is much too crowded.
