Clarity in Obscurity

Though I knew where to find the answers,

I searched in darkened corners seeking lies

instead because they were more satisfying.



There in the shadows, I was discovered

by those who wished to reach out- not with

helping hands, but to grab at exposed flesh.



They tore at my diminishing perceptions;

reality’s lucidity continued to fade and

and illusions were created as morals dimmed.  



Yet somehow I found clarity in obscurity:

a realization that there was no way to

shut off these dark urges that haunted me



unless I turned on the light.
