When I hide my light

I am nothing but darkness


The more thorough the negation

the more I become my own antithesis


Like a limit that is not there

you can freely trespass


Because there is no barbwire

surrounding the enclosure


and what is hidden

is thus unguarded


too open to be


much like nothing


a lack thereof where I refused to be


a space you could fill

with whatever you want


and where you would thus know me

as you know yourself – completely


and where there is no space

for something genuinely other


an abyss

of solitude and solipsism


like holding a canlde in a starless night

– a mere dream

Here,
see this extreme daylight
a world as bare as alien

everything but barren
like I have flowered in my own shadow

and can't help but to leave a corpse,
as that which is can't be cancelled

Here,
this was beyond me to begin with
as it was not my will
that created me

I emerged not knowing who I am and why,
too much to be undone.
