I was the Dark One

I was the dark one. I had been from the moment I was born, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. the dark was comforting, its shadowy embrace engulfing me in times of need, protecting from the pricing, accusing gaze of those around me. It's deadening tendrils encompassing me, saving me from their harsh words as I retreat into the darkness'' welcome grasp. I was the dark one and that was okay. Aiden was the one the light wanted. he was the one with a soul as bright as the noon day sun, his mere presence illuminating those around him as easily as breathing. And yet I do not envy his place in the spotlight, its harsh light blinding those who surrounding. Its dazzling brilliance hiding the flaws s and imperfections that him real. Hiding what made him Aiden, So no, I did not begrudge him his spot on his pedestal up above the rest of the world. I much preferred the candidness of the darkness where a totally different social set found themselves. Over the years I have learned how to hide in the depths of Aiden's shadow the light casting harsh and flickering shadows around his platform, safe from his followers pitying looks and accusing states. As time ticked by, I learned how to disappear behind my brother. And as I said, I was okay with that. I always had been. For I am the dark on and the shadows are my home.
