“Embrace” by ARK

Not everything must be accepted with arms wide open. There are things that, I learned, must not be embraced.

Never embrace the dark. When darkness comes knocking on your door, shut it-lock it up. Tell it to leave you alone, and it certainly would. What do I mean by darkness? Well, it has a broad meaning. It can refer to sin; to disease; to insanity; to lack of energy…it can simply mean lack of light in your life.

I think I have been living in darkness these past few days, but I want to put an end to it now. I am done embracing what I shouldn’t. Darkness is only there when light is not present. I ought to shed light on myself.

Everyone does this at times. We accept what we couldn’t change, and live in dissatisfaction. We do things we regret and protect ourselves by saying “we are only human”. We digest the fact that we make mistakes, and believe that we can do nothing about it. We embrace the dark.

People like this often start developing a good sense of vision. They start living in the dark and start seeing perfectly in it. They don’t realize which is which. They begin to forget which one is the real, clear picture. They look at the mirror and incorporate what they see with the things they said they never will be…and they begin admiring the new look.

I don’t know if you believe in the Illuminati. I do, in a sense, but this has very little to do with what I have been talking about. I only wanted to mention this because people who are under the “Illuminati” are good examples of people who have embraced the dark. I am not entirely sure if these rumors are true, but based on how I’ve been living these days, I could say it is pretty easy-losing yourself in the middle of a dark path.

I am done with this. If you think you are beginning to go blind too, better start lighting up your soul. How you are now, is how you should be. Don’t ever change for the worse and convince yourself of the opposite. Stick to what you have learned when you were young. It is good if you can balance innocence with what cruel things you’ve seen in the world. Stay in the middle, and don’t ever lose your balance.

Right now, I am trying to change the way I think. Better yet, trying to get back to how I used to think, only this time with a better idea of what I am up against. I will start accepting that things are not going well, and I must do something instead of living with the mistakes.

Right now I need an embrace. A real embrace. I want a hug from the people I care about, and who care enough for me too. I need to embrace the people who have been lighting the way to my real path all this time. I need a Heavenly embrace too.

You’ve seen the world…you’ve lived in it for quite some time. You know how dark the night becomes. But don’t ever forget that morning is just a few hours away.
