A Familiar
Darkness and Light
I used to love the dark
No one could see me
I was secretly safe
Things sounded clearer
I could feel my way around
Until everything was familiar
Then I learned to read
and needed light
To chase the words around
Until everything was familiar
Now I love the light
I’m learning how to write
And everything is feeling
so familiar
I
think
I’ll
get
a
cat
