Description
the word = DARK.immediately, most of us think of "dark" as more of depressing, macabre, sad, morbid even.
but, though this is a little hollow and lonely; not the "happiest" of emotive images, it's more about being kept in the dark...
being so CLOSE to the sun you could taste it, but something so powerfully keeps you away from it. it's untouchable, unreachable. but, above all that is a greater feeling of purposefully being left in the dark.
not being told. going ahead blind. secrecy. manipulation. lies. confusion. hidden and unclear.
shine the light on the truth! someone, anyone!
i've got a flashlight, unlike yours that you use to just to hold dead batteries.
i don't want to BE in the dark anymore and i'm really angry at seeing just how much i've been sat here, placed here, forced here by so many for so long.
the world of lies and deceit...mistrust and "protection" ... it's the darkest world i never wanted to be a part of. a world no one should have to fight so hard to see through.

well, half the time they're solely my words and others they're lyrics that have stolen my current emotions that are easy to portray in a shot when it's natural and authentic....so they end up melding easily.

hahaha, muscle definititon; that makes me chuckle
*dreamily* i could only WISHHHH to have what i used to have. healthy, strong, solid as a rock, but not bulky or brauny, juuuust, sculpted as a gymnast has to be. 
guess being "in the dark" helps in thaaaat instance 
but, seriosuly, thank you for your thought, i am really glad that you took anything from it and its meaning along with all the 'themes' of my life. i've often thought of scribbling out one-word "titles" almost ot all my sore-spots, core issues, areas that define me emotionally mentally just to see how many there were. and i get flooded immediately trying to come up with recurring themes that trouble me so. but, still, it would be vastly interesting if i did

mfff, can I say that said flood frustrates me for you?

buuut, it's all good. i'm pals with the Moses team, so we part seas and floods are like puddles

Mfff, if that sort of endurance is real, you make me feel like a wuss
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you're no wuss; you're just as immune to it for yourself as i am. we're adaptive. no one else could take things in stride like us -- you're another member of the unfortunate group of people to whom struggle and challenge has become second nature and daily occurence that its almost negligible and goes without batting eyelashes.
a shame and tough as hell; but, we're just better equipped to handle it

Lol, I suppose enough trauma does make one rather resilient. The means are crappy, but the ends are kind of nice sometimes...

the blessings surfarce if you accept the curse.
not to many people can possess the level of resilience, management, appreciation and ability to cope with the most unbelieveable places where other would crumble.
either that... ooorrr, what a sink hold drop 40 ft away from you and just getting up to get a galss of water.
eh, whatev, we be coool
