Darkness (The Appeal)
Beneath the surface...
There is a darkness in all of us
Even those who shine the brightest
Hide the darkest of black holes
We can run and hide from the truth
Pretend it's not real
But...
But...
When times are tough, we see the appeal.

There is definitely a dark side of me. You speak the truth, my friend! ❤️
I feel you on this one but I try not to stay to long in it . Dharrsheena is the expert in that , I admire her for that .
Oh yes, that's sooo true! I embraced my darkness with open arms, lol!
such truth there. Well done.
That last line is everything. People change when things get too hard or do things they wouldn't otherwise do. We've all got that capacity. Fantastic!
