How often I feel sadness...
Mostly rejection.
I notice I sometimes have a flight of fancy to share a side of who I truly am.
It is most often shot down.
I am then left with damage to repair.
I often feel sadness.
Lately I've felt rejection from most of the sides of the earth.
I often feel angry. I am a man after all...should I not feel rage?
When I am rejected for walking the path of self-discovery, when I enter a period of hermitage, when I enter a phase of uncertainty.
Then is it so wrong that my heart is so often set on blackness, death, and hate.
I love the light. I love the black.
The latter is just easier to hide in.
That is why I adorn myself in it.
