Ode to Darkness

Darkness,

Comforting me when no one else can,

Smiling at me and stretching out his hand.

Darkness

Swirling ‘round me in pitch black waves,

Whispering to me, “Darkness saves.”

Darkness,

He lets me punch him and beat him,

Then holds me and soothes my every limb.

Darkness,

Who knows just what its like

To have everyone drag you away from the light.

Darkness,

He can scan my emotions,

Then let me pour out my tears, drowning us in an ocean.

Darkness,

He doesn’t judge me for what I think,

Rather writes my thoughts on my heart using himself as ink.

Darkness,

He knows my heart and my soul,

And has seen me when I’m out of control.

Darkness,

Filling up my lungs

Taking control of my heart and tongue,

Oh Darkness

Darkness what have you done?

This war on myself that we fought, you won.

Silhouette

I feel like a silhouette 
Just a black shape
No defined features
At least not that others can see. 
The freckles on my nose
The light in my eyes
The crookedness of my smile 
All invisible. 
The thinks that make up me
The stray hairs
The chipped nail polish
The poor posture
All invisible. 
And those are just the outward things
What about everything inside of me
The thoughts
The feelings
The ideas
All invisible 
The words
The cries
The very essence of my being
All invisible. 
I'm just a silhouette 
Plain and simple. 
I'm just a silhouette 
And I feel invisible. {k.b}
