Is This Why, I Like The Dusk?

“Dusk, to his mind, was the hour of the defeated”
- H. H. Munro
~Saki (Taken from "Dusk")


Dusk is the time of day, when people devoid of happiness, come out, looking to gain something. Gain something, of the little that they actually deserve. They deserve the happiness, that’s been taken away from them, to fill the void of theirs’. They need to fill their emptiness, with belief and hope – that happiness does exist. Happiness comes and goes for all, but how long it stays – that’s up to you. It’s up to you, to decide who you got to be, who you need to be. Would pondering under the dusky sky, help you to reconcile with yourself, and your happiness?

The park boundary is what divides darkness from sunlight, desolation from happiness and failure from success. What the ones who lie within the boundary do not know, is that, it only takes a single step. A single step is all it takes, to walk outside – to freedom, and to change who you are. Change who you are, because you yourself know, this is not who you are. You know yourself that you deserve better.

However to some, dusk is comforting. The vibrant colours painted across the sky, might be one of the best one has seen in a long time. As the skies fade, and as you sit there – forlorn, it seems as though everything and everyone is in agreement to your thoughts. Sitting in the park, and seeing people reflect your feelings, is more than enough at times. To know there are people out there like you, who can fathom the untold stories of a broken man, is just enough at times.

After all of this, I’d ask myself – “Is this why I like the dusk?”
