The book contains short poems expressing the depth and difficulties of life and how one yearns for death as a way to liberate themselves from the harsh reality. It describes the struggle, loneliness, intricacies, and incertitude one faces in life and the hope which fades away when needed the most. It also illustrates how darkness can sometimes provide peace and contentment rather than fear and hopelessness. It tells about the beauty of darkness and that darkness can be something we don't want in life but what we need in life.
