Blackness Poem by Reeshe Vixen

I hide from you in the light…
I hide from you when you’re looking directly at me…
I hide myself from you all the time…

I lock myself away from you,
Leaving myself in darkness…
I lock away all the things about myself that you don’t want to see…
I lock away the pain of myself,
All the feels that will only cause me pain…

I am hiding and locking away myself,
You will never know or see my selfless act…
This act that I put on for your happiness…
This act that puts me in darkness…
This act that leaves me in pain…

This act that leaves me lock away in darkness,
Hiding from the light,
Hiding from your light…

As I hide…
I look around and all I see is Blackness! ! !
