Hand on darkness
Some years ago, I realised
I am the driver of my life
And so I chose light
It was a difficult decision
More difficult than it sounds
It’s hard to know what it is to see
When there’s no darkness around
It’s easy to equate pain with feeling

It was not a conscious decision
To spectate rather than participate
But it happened
As it does to many
Who give up on giving
