Only what remains

There no light is seen. It had been gone for many years. I don't think I can even recall what it even is. Darkness warps itself around every creek corner and edge leaving nothing but a bitter taste and burning tears. A single spark changed it all but, I was scared. In the darkness you don't have to worry about what you may encounter because you know you'll never see it anyway. It isn't so easy to accept light when all you've ever known is darkness. It takes time to adjust, to change. To be left out in the open world, where you could fall victim to being a captive of your own terror,  isn't something many people would agree to willingly do. I'm not like other people. The darkness that once surrounded me had no where else to flee so, it filtered through my soul and now it lives inside me.
