Literature Text
When the flame within me dims,
when the darkness comes,
I try to hide
I take into myself
a concealing mist
a distorting haze
I drink it down
breathe it in
to distract me from the dark
and it from me
But although this grants me
(not solace, the dark won't allow it)
relief in some small measure
the flame is not kindled
nor the darkness dispelled
I fear the dark
fear its power over me
fear the future in which it destroys me
and
I cannot find a source of fuel
when the darkness comes,

fear the future in which it destroys me

Read into this as much as you would like. It's all cryptic and shit because I keep telling people about things I had originally intended to be anonymous, so this is as good as I can do without just writing it down in a journal. Too much of that makes me feel pretentious.
