Darkness

It is very stereotypical
When seeing dark colours,
Black, grey, red,
to symbolise evil, depression, anger.

But the night is beautiful the shade cool,
and you are blind with black,
before a splendid dream.

when in a room
with little light,
you adjust with the darkness
but once you turn on the light
that is when you have
truly blinded sight

so when you feel
like it's too dark to see,
stop, rest a bit
Ask not to rush the light
There can be happiness,
in darkness
I find happiness,
In darkness
