The Dark Ride

Why do we try and explain the black forever? The black lies right in the middle of the white and is a part of every human. When we choose to embrace the black it only means that we are in deeper touch with who we truly are. The white is us as we appear in the eyes of the world. The black is us as we appear in the eyes of the insanse.

Why do I embrace the darkness you ask...well, my friend, the answer is simple...I am the darkness that embraces me, and I am I, I live in a world of illusions and sometimes to see the only real image, I retreat into my own space, a space beyond the vision of mankind, a space beyond the human mind, to find that one true image.

A strange new world welcomes me, where all my tears have been washed away and my fears disappear, where my mind rules and the dark ride begins. The dark ride to the deepest craters of the moon, where my heart bleeds as I prick myself with the needles of truth. And deeper and deeper goes the blade of hatred against all that stands against me. I cannot do this when I am in the white, because my mind is clouded by reason, hence I choose the darkness.

To be able to strangle conscience and conformities, I sabotage reasoned thought and turn it into free thought, and I pay the price for my actions in the real world, in the white. I become isolated, an outcast, a non-conformist and a black sheep...but when my life is mine alone, do I really care about what the world thinks? I think everyone does have the right to choose the path he or she takes and the right to make everything for themselves, for when our lives end, it is we who burn in the ashes and not those we lived a life of lies for.

In the white, I believe in nothing, because all that is around is a white lie. A lie that will twist and turn with you as you sleep and bring the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse roaring into your nightmares...

I believe in what belief tells me and I believe in the power of being able to delve into my dark spaces and find strength to fight the real world. Call me a coward if you may, but I'm not the one that ran from pain, hatred, betrayal and anger, I stood...and I will continue to stand and fight...I am the one you, society, loves to hate...
