Dark

The light is trapped behind the closed door

The only pain I feel is the mental one squeezing

my skull. Those words take what I have.

Whether they are true or not.

While I pray, I listen, I hear. God helps he knows.

Sleep. An impossible task when those words are

all trying to make themselves heard.

I don't cry.

Crying will only make it worse.


But in the sunlight of day.

I find the happiest times.

Not ones I fake, not ones with

spouted lies. Sharing laughs,

sparkling eyes, and kind words towards other people.

How come the light of day and night

is the perspective of which they see?
