Someone once asked me
If I was afraid of the dark.
No, I replied.
The dark is not my enemy.
She is my friend,
And has always been there.
The light is fleeting,
Leaving one blinded
In its wake.
But the dark remains,
Slowly creeping,
Embracing the mind.
Regardless of past.
Of horrible thoughts,
And heavy emotions.
She comforts me
In solitude,
And has never left me since.
The dark is nothing more than a reflection of your mind.
