Darkness...

I sat here in the dark with tears streaming down my face. I knew daylight was fading but hadn't realized that the house was now completely dark, illuminated only by the light of the laptop screen. My ears ringing, the soothing sound of Rush in the background. To read someone else's words and find that they are me... I closed the laptop and sat here in the dark with my forehead resting in the palm of my left hand. The pervading, persistent thought, like the ringing in my ears... I don't belong here.
