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
