darkness

the darkness almost overtook me last week. something about everyone else's lives in comparison to mine. the typical blogger angst, person with access to everything who thinks of only the nothingness.

today i shed the darkness. i smiled a bit more. my cheekbones emerged, confusing everyone, was i native american or indian indian or just some brown girl down the block.

and of course i am none of these. but these are the shadows of the darkness, obscuring whatever shape i am inside.
