It starts at night
It is fight or flight
The downward array of light disappears
the shadows appear and find their way into the hearts.
The split personality comes about
On the day the push is on
but at night the pull-in is deeper.
Do you think that the shadows belong to you?
They betray you because they belong to me.
Do you think darkness is your friend?
I was born in the darkness, moulded by it, protected by it.
I no longer fear the darkness.
I have become it.
Kindly
Afzal

Written during a tough time when darkness used to scare me, the people I knew changed when darkness approached. Almost different personalities would form once it was dark and there was no sunlight. It was almost like in the day, they were different, and at night, they would be different, too.
