Dark Sunshine
Eater of Worlds
So, yeah, the title says it all. You might actually find some of these on my account, now that I think about it. In any case, I’ll just stick these here... also, WIP
I sat alone at lunch.
Why?
Of course, no one likes to interrupt my reading.
But, there’s another reason.
One time, I had a group of friends. Real friends.
But, that day, they were sick or had a doctor’s appointment or were on vacation.
I was alone.
But, they came back, and we had fun.
Until the school bully, who never gave a crap about what the teachers said, and was known for her sharp tongue, came along.
Then, she used that tongue like a knife and chopped my relationships with my friends into bite-sized pieces.
I sat alone at lunch.
What did injustice mean to me?
It means knowing no one would help you.
They might try, but they never help.
They just fuel the inferno.
An inferno of fear, and hate, and crushed dreams.
An inferno of lost friends.
An inferno that sucks hope into its core and destroys it.
An inferno of injustice.

If you think that hope saves you, it doesn’t.
It helps you on your journey to become the best you can,
And hope is a fading light.
So brighten it, until it outshines the injustice and hate.
What does hope mean to me?
It means a child taking their first steps,
It means a bud becoming a bloom,
It means a deer bounding through a meadow,
It means life will go on.
Hope lights the way, just like the sun, moon, and all the stars.
So take the path of hope and dreams,
And make them real.
