Darkness

Darkness is a place I love, For no one can see you there. It covers you with a blanket, For you and your despair. Sunlight shows all your faults and fears, Leaves you in the open with nothing but tears. So give me back my darkness, And give me back my pain, Keep me from the sunlight, Never show me again.

darkness can be a comforting friend I agree. Also, the light can be harsh and too revealing, good write! Light & Love
