Darkness

Darkness..that's what I am
Thick..you can't see through me..
You can cut through me with a knife.
Slice me..put me on a plate..for I
am your hiding place.

Darkness...that's what I am
Behind me you leave your secrets..
Which are darker than I myself.
Your secrets are in me..the ones
you hide behind.

I am Darkness..call me Mr. Darkness
Afterall it's in me you speak words that
Would otherwise hurt someone else. 
The things that you wish to hide..
Are done in me ...the Darkness!!
