The Other Side
I was better off feeling dead
Than feeling alive.
I was better off feeling low
Than on this false height.
I was better afraid of the dark
Than afraid to open my eyes.
I was better afraid of cutting myself
Than scared to survive.

The dark side is a place
no one wants to go.
This is a tough one. I hope things have evolved.

Thank you Stephen and Nigel for your comments ?
Stephen, a very apt expression, evolution. Fascinating isn't it, that the body takes many lifetimes to evolve, whereas the mind evolves many times within just one lifetime.
Nigel, a very apt observation. And it makes me think... (and that's not always a good thing)...
The dark side;
No one wants to go
And no one wants to stay
And yet some seem to find
Themselves there anyway.
