darkness

it’s an awful thing to live in the dark,

unable to see what others take for granted.

 

but sometimes for a lucky few,

a flicker of light pierces the darkness,

and brings with it the promise of better days to come.

 

it’s an awful thing to live in darkness,

unable to see what others take for granted.

 

but if we are lucky,

the darkness lifts,

and we can see the secret sacrifices made by our loved ones.

the surprising progress made by those we care.

or the unintended consequences of our own actions.

 

but there are those who prefer the darkness,

because there, the can only see, what they choose to see.
