loss for words

hidden in the dark

i was in the darkness for so long,
that before i knew it, i became it.
i ruled over it like a queen.
it belonged to me, just as i belonged to it.
and i naively thought it belonged only to me.

 i was selfish to think so.

i had been fighting my own monsters so long that i just chose not to fight anymore.
i chose to feed them.

its just that, i found so many wonderful things in the dark,
almost just as many of the horrible things i found in the light.
