The Darkness

The Darkness

A Poem by Jesse Booker

The darkness engulfs me again
Like the return of an old friend
It lends its sympathetic ear
And listens to my confessions

Though wise, the darkness does not judge
It is not boastful like the light
Nor does it intrude on my heart
For I am my own solution

But the light is delusional
Trusting the goodness of its deeds
Shining brightly for all to see
And making villains of the dark

But darkness understands the heart
It does not need recognition
I wrap myself in its cocoon
And after, I am born again
