“I don’t see the dark side until I open my eyes.”

Context: Every adventure to be had in this room is on the dark side. The people on the light side are asleep right now. And they are dreaming about the dark side. Because the more you try to repress the dark side, the stronger it gets, until it finds its own way to the surface. I sleep well. I dream of angels and sponge cake and panda bears. I don’t see the dark side until I open my eyes.
“My wounds are open
my eyes gone blind

I can not hideǃ”
“I walked 500 miles just to see a halo, when I opened my eyes I was blind as can be.”
