Darkness

When you see the word, what do you think of?

My parents say unhappiness.

They say depression.

Sadness.

Loneliness 

Nah, not me.

I like the darkness.

When its dark, no one can see me.

No one can ask why my face is wet.

Light

What do you think of now?

Do you see bright skies?

The beach maybe?

Basically having fun, right?

Again, not me.

The light exposes things that I want hidden.

I make my safe place in the dark.

I make a place were the rest of the world and their light can't reach me.

Just because you see me sitting in a corner, it doesn't mean I am weird.

It doesn't mean that I want attention like a lot of people say.

It means the opposite.

It means I want to be left alone and go to my safe place.

When I am in that safe place, I feel alive.

I can see the darkness washing over me like a black sea.

The sea of black is not something I fear.

I welcome the warm, soft embrace that it brings me.

So yeah, I get called weird for the way I think.

I get made fun of daily for the way I am.

I am not going to lie, it affects me more than I let show.

But that safe place I made that is made up of darkness is the only "light" I get.
