Life Troubles Quotes

“Friends with Darkness (The Sonnet)

Most dread the very notion of dark,
Darkness strikes horror in their heart.
Yet darkness gives me a sense of calm,
I feel quite at home when in dark.
Darkness makes me alive,
Darkness gives me flight.
Darkness makes me aware,
Of the tiniest glint of light.
Darkness electrifies my dampened veins,
It pours back my nerves with vigor.
Just when everything seems to fall apart,
The mind awakens with unforeseen power.
So, never try to keep darkness at bay.
Once befriended darkness takes you a long way.”

Life is messy - disaster one after another!

Is with extreme cruelty or unyielding character.”

When you don't know what's going on in it.
Witnessing the darkness yet choosing to smile,
That's what defines the illuminating spirit.”
