In This Dark Room Poem by Ivana Suazo

In this dark room is where I stand
hiding from life, love and unhappiness

Not wanting to experience the reality of hurt
trying to hold myself together

With eyes open, I see the truth of many things
Eyes closed I see a magical fantasy

Outside this dark room
I see the light that guides me through obstacles that I can defeat
Escalating to something better then what i seek

With eyes open, I see what comes my way
Eyes closed I'm just nothing
