I love the darkness

because

when it blankets me

I feel

safe and warm

my mind shuts down

closing all the open drawers

of the filing cabinets

that haunt me

everything looks the same

there is no black and white

or grey

just darkness

I don't have to face the world

that constantly battles me

the faceless names

that constantly

berate me

trying to bring me down to their level

but more than anything

I don't have to face

the reflection in the mirror

that constant reminder

that as hard as I try

and

believe me

I Fucking try

I am losing
