I often think darkness is something to be feared, the kind of thing one might read in folklore or see on television in a horror film, and I believe that kind of darkness should be feared, a fear of the unknown.
Why step into something when the eyes within your own head can't see what is in front of you? They are there to stop you from falling, and without their use, how can you not fall?
The things that live in the darkness have no need of their eyes in human terms because they already know what is around them, like a fish to water or bird of air, all thrive within their own environments and suffer elsewhere.
The human body has limits, physically and emotionally, and often the worst pain is the latter, by bonding close with dark beings who only burn, and not soothe, in the way a porcupine doesn't mean to harm, yet all who touch it will come to harm.
Does the porcupine shun all those around it? It doesn't know any better, it doesn't see its own barbed tips.
I will draw you in, you will fixate on me, and no matter how hard I try to please you, I will never succeed, because I fly within air, I breathe underwater, I live within the dark, and no matter how hard I try, or how much I wish to, I'll never, ever, be able to take you with me, or take the pain away from you caused by having me your life.
I will burn and you will burn alive by my side. Best to keep a safe distance.
I'm here to journal.
Nothing more.
