My Darkness

My Darkness You want me to write happy words Poems about white fluffy clouds Flowers covering a hillside Butterflies gliding in a gentle breeze How can I write about such things? My mind cannot comprehend such things My soul doesn’t see the beauty of your world I see black plants clinging to barren walls Stars burning out one after the other A cold grey moon trapped in eternal darkness To me death and pain are my world Tell me of your world Share with me what I can never see But realize that I am who I am No matter how you try you can never change me I know that you will never accept my world I would never ask you to You live in the lightness of your world I just ask for you to leave me in my darkness It is my choice and my dream And truly I do not want to share it with anyone It is mine and mine alone And that is how I want it
