Stockholm Syndrome
Comfort in Chains
The taste of freedom
was pungent
an acquired taste
:
An unfamiliar flavor
A texture they could not masticate
:
Tickling their pallette
in a way they could not relate
Something that didn't align
with their current state
:
A foreign flavor made them
resistant to change their ways
:
Neurons registered it
as something to hate
Something to berate
:
Something too difficult to digest
Something unworthy for them to taste
:
So they spat out the hash
and never looked back
:
Swiftly
rejecting to enjoy
it's entirety
to it's finish
less savor the flavor
:
They were rather comfortable
eating candy-coated hot trash
because it
had a familiar taste
dressed in a familiar label
:
After a lifetime sentence in prison
sometimes the newly freed prisoner
will just lay back down in the cell
once you remove the chains
:
Comfortable in what is known
despite how it degrades

The Darkest Eclipse
Eclipse of darkness; an entity that creeps in every few decades, to steal the memories of the enlightened ones. These people were called The Chosen Ones. They were extraordinary people, with divine destiny's. They each possessed memories so powerful, that they could change the fabric of existence. The god of death could not have that, so it would alter the universe by creating a being, that was not good, nor evil, but had a duty embedded into its very essence.
