In the light, I see the faces of people, And most are happy. The smiling mouths, the twinkling eyes, The joyful expressions. People in the light can breathe freely, Carelessly, and easily say that Everything’s fine. In the light, I see the normal, everyday Procedures that comprise the world around us, The world that we always see in the light. I see the 9-5 workdays, smell the coffee brewing, Hear the sweet goodnights and feel the fulfilling sleep. In the light, no one thinks. No one is concerned in the light, Everything is expected, natural, normal, the usual. Everything’s fine. But in the dark, I see the faces of people, And they are tragically beautiful in their chaos, Because in the dark they can let it go. In the dark, no one is watching, and no one is pretending. People in the dark think, people in the dark Can easily say that everything is tainted, Stained by human corruption. In the dark, breathing is difficult, And trying to calm your trembling takes Superhuman strength. The ache seeps through your bones, muscles, and nerves, But you know the light is coming, where you Don’t have to think and you can breathe. But are you real in the light?

Light and Dark
In the light, I see the faces of people, And most are happy. The smiling mouths, the twinkling eyes, The joyful expressions. People in the light can breathe freely, Carelessly, and easily say that Everything’s fine. In the light, I see the normal, everyday Procedures that comprise the world around us, The world that we always see in the light. I see the 9-5 workdays, smell the coffee brewing, Hear the sweet goodnights and feel the fulfilling sleep. In the light, no one thinks. No one is concerned in the light, Everything is expected, natural, normal, the usual. Everything’s fine. But in the dark, I see the faces of people, And they are tragically beautiful in their chaos, Because in the dark they can let it go. In the dark, no one is watching, and no one is pretending. People in the dark think, people in the dark Can easily say that everything is tainted, Stained by human corruption. In the dark, breathing is difficult, And trying to calm your trembling takes Superhuman strength. The ache seeps through your bones, muscles, and nerves, But you know the light is coming, where you Don’t have to think and you can breathe. But are you real in the light?
