Chapter 6 - light

I find myself in the light again

blinding, damaging light

but I don't even blink.

should I?

Everything is being.

Everything is doing.

Everything is moving.

Not me.

Did you notice?

Let's dig deeper into this madness

while my mind lets me

A kid is present, not for long

It has opinions, valid ones

It respects and is respected

But the presence is not enough

The opinions are thin

The respect is light

The kid is gone.

Would you even notice?

Well, she does.

For a second the light flickers

I feel weirdly thrown off but it's enjoyable.

Where is the light now?

I feel free for a moment until the light comes again.

but its different now.

It isn't warm, it isn't cold

it's not capturing, it's not weightless.

It's natural.

I dont think twice to let it embrace me and swallow me.

It's finally here.

I didnt ask for it, but it's here

It has always been

and even if I dont deserve it, it will always be.

I didn't need it before

did I?

However now that it's here

now that she's here

I can't imagine what I'd do

if it weren't for this

if I lost her

I'm fucking bad for her

I make her light flicker

but I know that even if it goes out

The core will always be there.
