What is this darkness I see before me?
In the past
all this philosophizing made me treasure each day more
It was optimism undercutting the layers of cynicism I built around myself
Now, it is draining all the colours,
leaving behind a greyscale photograph
Emphasizing not the vibrance of life
but the abrasive texture of an existence examined

Just some random rambling when I had too much time on my hands during lecture.
