Darkness, my old friend
Hello darkness, my old friend!
I sit here, trapped in my sorrow,
the walls are closing in
and I feel ensnared, shrouded,
but I know one thing:
It will be hard to replace me,
I was here all day today, tomorrow I will be gone.
Am I then somewhere else? Am I then no more?
Maybe you would like to walk a thousand miles in my shoes, just to see what it’s like to be me.
After that, you can judge me.
I will be you, let’s swap shoes, just to see what it would be like to feel your pain.
And you feel mine.
Take my thoughts.
See the world through my eyes.
After that, let no one tell you,
you are not beautiful.
Let them all go to hell.
Always stay true to yourself.
I will do so many things wrong, constantly, just because I have never seen how to do it right.
Because I have no idea how I could prevent that.
- And so she ran laughing into the circular saw and embraced the darkness, her old friend.
It tickled in her nose, tingled on her skin. That must have been adrenaline. And she knew only one thing: She would never get enough of it. Not today and certainly not tomorrow.
She threw on her jacket, shook out her hair, ran her fingers through it and raised her walls.
Pop. She chewed. Once. Twice. Pop. She opened her mouth wide. Smacked aggressively. Provocatively. As if she were screaming for someone to shout “close your mouth while chewing.” Even if she didn’t, someone would do it anyway. And she didn’t care. After all, she wasn’t just here to munch on sweet grass.
People should see that she was not to be messed with today.
Let them all keep their distance and go to hell.
She felt comfortable in the darkness of this autumn night.
