The Dark

If I turn on the light

Will I see my reflection?

Alone in the dark

I avoid all detection

 

I break and I bruise

I get cut and I bleed

I live here in the dark

I don’t want you to see

This poem says in a few lines that darkness of spirit reflects a pain as real as life itself. Thank you for sharing this.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
