it lurks in the shadows
and it surrounds the cosmos
it devours light
and it turns fortune into plight
it inspires you
when the world despises you
it reveals to you
what the light conceals from you
it fills the hollowness in your heart
it keeps you mortal when you are falling apart
it is found in the murky depths of your soul
emanates when you are losing control
what is it you ask ?
it is time I unravel my mask
