Dark Places
Dark places,
dark places buried deep within me
faces in
places that are too dark to see.
There are
spaces in the dark places where I often hide
inside a façade
of thick hide that exudes confidence and pride.
It must be
difficult to get in past my skin thick and hard
because I struggle
to get out into my own backyard.
If you
respect my dark places genuine I’d be
able to
expose the dark places inside of me.
Darkness is
mostly perceived in a negative light
though it has
no choice and can’t put up a fight.
Inside the
dark places every once in a while
I get a
glimpse of familiar eyes and a toothy smile
Without
dark places light would be in a dim situation
of little contrast
resulting in sleep deprivation.
My dark
places may be a therapeutic place to go
for solace,
resolution and enlightenment to grow.
Beware of
dark places I can’t stay too long
or soon I’ll
be singing the tune of “the therapist song.”
