let there be dark ?


can someone please tell me : what is it about the darkness that makes us ...change ?
contrary to whodini's profound words , it's not only the freaks that slip out of the corners when the sun comes down . emotions are released when their is not much sunlight to expose it . truths tend to come out when the clocks strike twelve . people sip their martini's, dance, and exchange flirty eyes from across the room ... in the dark . it seems like something about the moonlight makes us ...courageous ?

you ever been to a house party in highschool ? when the lights are on, everyone is walking around ... talking, awkward and strange . However, as soon as someone hits the light switch, legs are in the air, people are dry humpin' on the floor (aha) ...a complete "180" !

is our "real" personality ...the one we expose in the darkness ? in the night, we can cry in our pillows . in the night, we can confront our demons . in the night time, we can be our 'mushy-but-not-mushy' self with our sweetie . it seems as though the darkness is a skeleton key that unleashes everything that we are too scared to be under the sunlight . the same girls i see on campus , so composed and classy and 'greater than thou' in the daytime ... are the same girls i see in the most compromising of situations around 2am . they know that we see them, but they think the darkness is some kind of masquerade ball mask with glitter and feathers. hiding their identity .

maybe it's because we want to relax and get loose after a long day ? maybe its because no one could clearly identify you in the dark ? maybe it's because society creates an excuse for the dark ? perhaps you simply feel more comfortable when the sun is gone ? who knows ... do you ?
