[ OT ] Is it just me or does it seem like most of the prompts or storys end up in a dark and dreary place ?

Inside me there is a deep abyss within which resides a living darkness. It is an endless energy source for all things from dread to sadness. I do not have to pull ideas from this pit, but rather I merely need to stopping struggling so hard to keep it at bay. 
 
 This is not a jest where I tell a dreary story because you asked why people tend to be so dreary in these. I am what I have said. Doctors fill me with drugs. These drugs do not make me feel normal ( Ha, normal -- I can no longer comprehend this concept ) but instead serve to dull all my emotions in the hopes that by suffocating my connection to joy that my demons, too, can be kept contained. Though I struggle against it, I have told track of how many battles I have lost. There have been times that I took a blade to my flesh just so that I could feel something other than morose and numb.
