Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

Darkness surrounds me
Induced by past thoughts
My life has no circles
But is drowned with noughts
Where did it come from?
Why is it here?
I see no light
Yet something is clear
This is not darkness
This is not thoughts
This is reality
And cannot be fought.
