Darkness

Can you feel it? 
This odd contentment, 
In this empty room, 
Where there's solace in darkness. 

I'm all alone, 
But I never felt better, 
Because even in my sadness, 
There’s warmth. 

Isn't it amusing? 
When you find comfort in tears 
And sense sympathy, 
Even in this old cushion. 

I’m slowly getting addicted, 
Of this solitude, 
Created a paradise only for myself, 
A paradise when I’m being myself. 

I look outside the window, 
I see stars shining so bright. 
It blends well with those dark clouds, 
And it brought smile in my face. 

How can anyone enjoy those stars, 
Without darkness? 
And if there’s no sadness, 
Will they ever know what’s happiness? 

Now I get it, 
Why I blend well with this darkness. 
Because like stars in the sky, 
I need this darkness to help me shine

This is so beautiful *-* I like some stanza such as :
" If I cared too much,
There’s pain,
But in this solitude,
No one could hurt me."

I look outside the window,
I see stars shining so bright.
It blends well with those dark clouds,
And it brought smile in my face.

How can anyone enjoy those stars,
Without darkness?
And if there’s no sadness,
Will they ever know what’s happiness?

Now I get it,
Why I blend well with this darkness.
Because like stars in the sky,
I need this darkness to help me shine.

The feelings which are expressed here are so powerful ! you mannaged to find a glimpse of joy between the lines that are carrying sad words . Remarkable work !

This is a poem that reaches out to many. It always amazes me how many people actually thinks this way. A little darkness in everyone, even if they do not know it. Whether sad, or a deeper concept, it's in everyone.

The content of the poem is well written. The only thing I do not like is the rhyming is not level. It's not balanced. But every writer is different.
