Description

The city.

There are times when I feel smothered by the buildings that surround me. They're dirty, and decaying, and dark. Although filled with people, they cry out emptiness. Hollowness! Sadness! I hate them, yet I can't escape them. These structures keep me corralled in a personal hellish state.

Sorrow engulfs me. The ground, it's not just dirty but littered with cigarette butts, candy wrappers, miscellaneous papers, and undistinguishable debris from weeks prior. Weeds seem to spring up out of every breach in the ground's concrete veneer. Annoying, ugly weeds! Flowers are nowhere to be seen, not even a dandelion to bring the landscape some color.

I hate this world, its wretched darkness, its unforgiving pain!


The sky.

And yet, If I'm able to survive this torment long enough to remind myself to look up to the sky, and then actually do it, I am allowed to see past the filth and distress of this world.

Color is once again an element of my sight. Winds tickle my face and remind me of good things. Wonderful things! I catch sight of trees. Hints of white and blue peek from behind the clouds of grey and black. The sun is up there. Whether or not I see it, there are indications it's up there.

Movement. Hope. Light.
