Let there be dark

Phil Desforges
Dec 28, 2023

Let me lie in the night, next to mother void,

Against the cruelty of a world that only sees joy.

To play a part for the many, an hypocrisy,

I reject the light and its heresy;

Solace is mine, in the depths of my own hue,

Darkness, a haven for the wounded, a refuge.

How can light be pure, free from shadow’s decree,

When society shuns the dark, rejecting me?
