Realization

Where am I...?

Darkness...?

Is that all there is?

Is that where I am…?

It doesn’t matter now,

I don’t want to go back,

Back to that horrid place,

A place of nothing but lies, wars,

And sadness.

If I am alone,

Then nobody can hurt me,

And I won’t hurt anyone else,

It’s that simple,

I’ll cast away all my dreams,

And live in this eternal darkness,

Alone,

Forever…

But why am I crying?

Why do tears keep falling?

Falling-

Even in this empty darkness,

But most of all…

Why do I keep thinking of them?

It’s better here,

Much better…

But why do I feel doubt?

This is what I wanted,

Isn’t it?

But...

Just then,

I felt a tear,

I was crying again,

I touched my face,

And realized it wasn’t my tear.

It was raining down,

These tears that were not mine,

Disturbing the darkness surrounding me,

Then realizing...

It was someone else,

Someone else was crying,

Crying for me…

These tears were so pure,

It broke threw the darkness around me,

Slowly fighting the darkness that engulfed me,

Bringing warm light instead to surround me,

All the darkness and sorrow,

All the misery that had surrounded me,

Vanished…

Instead there was light and hope,

This incredible stirring grew inside me,

And brought me back,

Back to the world that I despised so much,

And I found the source of the tears,

That had woken me from the darkness,

It was them,

And just then…I wept again,

Only this time…

Of joy, not of pain.
