Darkness is a state of a person.
A person being fearful or having no hopes of having anything better. It is cold, bone chilling to the point where you can't feel the warmth.
Darkness is a space.
Where you can just hope for the streams of light to follow you unless you turn around to see that it is only the space of charcoal, pitch black and colorless.
Darkness is a substance.
That surrounds everything and eats up anything that comes into its path mercilessly. It doesn't leave any corners of the world.
Darkness is the pieces of life you cannot connect. It is the placid world where the happiness cannot be felt.
Darkness is fear.
A fear of not knowing the place around you, the fear of not knowing how far you could reach.
Have you ever seen darkness? Its just a substance after all. You just look up in the sky and see the darkness very well but it goes against the sciences.
Don't you think it is weird?
The sciences say that nothing can be seen unless the rays of light enters our iris but we see darkness even without the light.
It is an unstoppable force.
You neither have the guts nor the power to control it.
It is the darkness..
The darkness which would make your street look like an old fashioned photograph. It robs you off your best sense and paralyses you with indisputable fear. Its the darkness which cramps your muscles but you can still open your eye to see nothing but blink. You don't hear anything either. You were a predator by blood and you had your front facing eyes to aim and brain enough to hunt but now, you feel like a prey in this abyss. You can just wait for the dawn but the wait is too long. This is how you feel the darkness but darkness is not limited to feelings but still..
You can feel it as a best friend.
A best friend who kisses upto your skin color and whispers the agitation into your ears. A best friend who is funny and cool. This best friend will be the favorite thing until all of your exits are blocked and then it'll have no reason to hide. You'll feel like a character of a friendship movie. You understand your emotions and things that motivates you to unlock the cage and step into the light but darkness persists as the dawn is yet to happen and then there it was..
the darkness, suffocating and blossoming into the whole world. A world where sciences would be perfected and the world would be evoluted. A world covered with the layer of dark pollution and infrastructure which would be the only burden we would carry on. There would be no war, poverty or hunger but just the unlit aura of static and wasted life because you just wait for the dawn in this starless sky where even the moon doesn't want to shine.
