If you're absent during my struggle. Don't expect to be present during my success.


They say we aren't afraid
Of the dark,
Just simply of the unknown,
But that would mean
We fear
The next page of a book
Or a loading computer.
A covered object even.
I believe we as humans fear the dark
For society associates it with demons
And our own
We are too scred to face.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
