i wrote this in 2006. i was reading over it and am wondering how high i was when i wrote it lol.  i confused myself reading it again hahaha. it definitely was a quick freestyle-avant-garde type of write up that i did in 5 minutes. some things are worth the laugh.

smoke before reading

you ever been tired? i mean like the type of tired you really just dont feel like dealing with anything, anyone, any situation? that tired that all you wanna do is close your eyes and just dream of all the hopeful possibilities? you know, that type of tired that leads you to the isolation of darkness that somehow grips you like those extra medium superhero costumes? that comforts you and lets you be who you want to be, do what you want to do, see what you want to see? what if that darkness contains some sort of truth?  maybe that darkness is the moment of clarity that is holistic in sense.  maybe if you closed your eyes good enough you could do some quantum leap type shit and be in a whole new world like that asian dude on the Heroes show. the darkness that somehow allows you to see the truth for what it really is.  maybe darkness is as liberating as kickin the shit out of some punk rock superstar with braided extensions with metal tips in the chest after he jabbed you in the forehead with a mortified concept of unity? or what if darkness is the path to the light? you know, on some underground railroad type shit but not really underground?  you with me?  maybe the darkness is in the open for everybody to see? that darkness that possesses celestial vision and knowledge as divine as the Supreme Being?  theres a saying that those who cant handle the light flee to darkness.  but then that would mean they are in fear of the light so they hide in the dark.  what if you dwell in the darkness to find the light?  maybe the light isnt something you are supposed to see, but rather a light you are supposed to feel within that darkness, and within that darkness this light presents a light that not only you can feel, but everyone around you can feel as well? so then maybe when your tired you let your guards down and you disregard that light that you see that is constantly proven to be an illusion and then you focus on the darkness to harness that light you can feel and truly be apart of.  maybe that darkness is the light you are supposed to see in the faces that are the reflection of the one that we are all derived from? so how can we see the light in the darkness we fear?  only in love will you be able to find the beauty in the dark.
