Shadows
By Kimetara
One-shot/POV
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
The shadows are mine.
They are shunned, outcasted, and ignored by others...but for me, they are mine. My sanctuary, my haven.
Everybody looks to the light instead of the shadows...but without the shadows, there would be no light.
"Look to the bright side," they all say. Well, without the darkness, there would be no bright side, would there?
There would be no light without dark. No healing without pain. No happiness without sadness.
Imagine it.
Imagine life without pain. It would be perfect. It would be marvelous. It would be wasted, because we would not understand what we had.
We could not understand the light without the darkness to contrast.
And so I embrace the shadows, the darkness. I hold it within me so others will recognize its opposite. So they will not take the light for granted.
So they will not make the mistakes I have.
It is my sorrow I keep. It is my sin. And I refuse to let it go, because I have yet to deserve its release.
This is how I shall atone...by amplifying the light of others.
And I shall keep my shadows.
AN: Mmmm...Vincent's POV. Lately I've
been feeling like writing a lot about him...
