A poem or story will do. Make believe or not. I don't really care. Just put meaning and emotion in it. And go all out.

Dark In Lightness

So dark in lightness

My mind like a storm

Its clearing imminent

Still drowning life with thought patterns in swarms

Cackling laughter

And profusely shed tears

As if joy was a person

And depression her attachment and fear

Thoughts of wonder

Delight and misery

Anger in gratitude

I create like some sort of witchery

How can I be

But not all the same

Each day feeling reset

No pause in this game

A level higher

I seek to climb

But as I ascend

The deeper I dive

Into a darkness

Cast obscurely aglow

Runes familiar

They say you reap as you sow

And so I see

Or at least I listen

All I know is my breath

And I inhale as if it my soul mission

So dark in lightness

Maybe it’s balance I crave as I swing

The clouds always part

The sunlight sparkles in the spring

As the frost begins to melt

Nature assures its return

Ebbing and flowing in evolution

In its fluctuations I’m beginning to learn

I honor my darkness

I respect my light

I embody it all

So with my soul I may reunite

Nightly Affirmations

What do you or should you say to yourself at the end of the day to make you feel excited about tomorrow? It could be something you already say or something you come up with right now as you read this challenge. Your affirmation could be appreciative, motivating, a plan or to-do list, but nothing sad. If it's not positive, kindly do not enter this challenge. Make it as complicated or as simple as you want, as long as you understand it. Maybe someone else will too. You can also give a background story (how you came up with the affirmation or where you found it). Maximum of 300 words. Democracy.

chrysalis

Well experienced, I am

Entering the kind chrysalis of sleep

To emerge with new wings tomorrow.

Disappearing into the silence,

Into the greys and dark blues,

It’s easy to vanish

If you really want to

I drown, going deeper and deeper

I struggle to swim despite my filled lungs

But as I try to swim, the pull down into the depths increased

It is like I have no other choice

Like a game

I have to play it the way the creator want

My insides are screaming for life

But my body isn't willing to comply

I am lazy but it sounds like more

Like a paralysing force

That puts my body in lockdown

Unable to struggle any longer

I drown deeper and deeper

My insides giving up with a thought

'Is this what my life is worth?'
