Essay: "Childhood"by Delvin Diles It's after rack time. Many nights I've spent, wasted here. On my bunk I lay, staring at the ceiling, trying to see my thoughts as clear as possible. A futile attempt because my inner vision is as dark as the silver of sky in the small rectangular window to my right.
Now I understand why despair is symbolized as darkness: it dims all it surrounds. Every thought, feeling, visualization must always arise in its shadow. All else is secondary to the omnipotence of despair--the 5-star general to other emotions, outranking them in all circumstances. Delvin Diles |
