Memories come up from times when life felt so close to the edge.
Life seemed like something so close to the end.
A mind so cluttered, so filled with fear.
A body so riddled with substances and unbalanced from the chase of night and day.
Thoughts fading away, worries taking over, friends with two faces taking up too much space.
There were times of silence towards the ones who were closest.
There were moments of sadness that lasted for days.
Yet, beyond the darkness, through the silence, there still seemed to be some light.
Falling away…
Falling under…
Never too deep, but just deep enough.
Finally one day, tired of suffering…
A reach up, a crawl, a walk and a run, back to life.
Back to peace.
Yet, never truly to feel without the darkness.
A darkness that had the deep calls for the ending.
Though, the darkness is not meant to call upon us all.
Some must just taste it, to see why we must turn away.
Back to the light.
In the light we must stay, but never to forget the bite of darkness that will never fully go away.
