It doesn't happen very often but when it does, it can be intense, fast and furious.
It is the darkness from within. The shadow that cannot be seen behind a bright smile, sparkling eyes and a melodic voice. That feeling of helplessness and despair that creeps up and overtakes you when something goes wrong or you've experienced a hurtful incident. You feel ashamed to talk about it so you don't. You know you have friends you could count on, yet, you also understand that they have busy lives and challenges of their own so you shy away from the real answer behind the three worded question, "How are you?"
The darkness wins everytime you allow it to. Don't let it be all-consuming, let it out. Don't want to make a public annoucement? Then don't. Write a letter and then burn it. Shout it into an empty space where no one can hear. Go run around the block. Get off the couch and start dancing. Just let it out somehow. You'll feel a lot better for it. You can do it. You can squash darkness and create a brighter day, one vent at a time.
