The Darkness.
It resides in all of us .
It’s a disease, a cancer that eats away, day after day, after endless fuckin day.
We all think we’re good people, we’re immune , but we’re all infected with the Darkness.
A deep darkness that we call ‘human nature ‘.
We lie to ourselves and say, I’m a good person.
There are no good people.
We’re all out for number 1! Number ONE!
Me and Me alone.
You don’t care about anyone but your own fuckin self.
The Darkness.
Who are you really?
Who are any of us?
The Darkness encircles, encapsulates, and entrances, entraps everyone.
It incapacitates, incarcerates everyone and everything
Remember that kid you were in school?
The kid who ridiculed and picked on and harassed and made fun of the other kid, who just didn’t fit in? You wanted to fit in, so you joined the crowd and made his or her life a living Hell. That’s The Darkness. And, it’s still a part of you. You may be a successful executive with millions of dollars, or a simple Soccer mom with children who takes care of other people’s children, making cookies and shit. The perfect person. But you are still that person. You can never escape it. It’s who and what you were; and it will always be what you were, so it’s always a part of who you are. Forever. That’s The Darkness.
Or, maybe you were the kid ridiculed, picked on, harassed, and made fun of. Maybe you still are today, as an adult. Maybe you blew your brains out, maybe you OD’d, maybe you became the bully, maybe you were strong enough to move on and hope for better for your own kids. But you still live with that Darkness, that makes your blood boil when you see an old classmate at the grocery store 10, 20, 30 years later.
That’s The Darkness.
There’s no escape. It’s a part of who and what you are.
The Darkness…
