Dark

a poem about sadness + its messages+ how to overcome it

Dark

In the darkness i wish to be numb

no part of it, abstract and distant

I wish not for sorrow nor fun

only recuperation in an instant.

I wish for blank walls and no windows

I want it pale and bleak and shallow for me

I see the waves, their crash and flow

I accept their turmoil with glee.

In the darkness i wish for lonely company

my conflation of longing and solitude

I wish for a hand to put a gun to me

In my modest non-sexual nude.

I see her in the moonlight always,

her secluded profanity that is mine

she guides me through the forest haze

illuminating my path with her shine

In the darkness I wish for the light

I wish for the end of the tunnel to appear

I struggle in my cryptic secret and flight

I put down my gloves, its near.

In the dark  you will find the light

that you thought so abundant before

bind your hands, put up a fight

and eventually you'll reach the shore.

I think we all need to wallow so that we then appreciate all that is good in life. Me, I can wallow with the best of them but only for minutes, life holdsto much to miss out by embracing sadness. Like this Adam
