The darkness surrounds me, suffocating me,
But at the same time it comforts me.
It's so harsh and cold,
But it fills me with a burning sensation.
It's all so different and confusing
And yet it's so familiar.
I can't escape, am trapped in its depth
At the same time it has set me free.
I want to run from this place,
I just can't seem to make my legs move.
It's so quiet here,
But the silence is deafening.
This place scares me,
Yet at the same time it's the only safe place for me.
I can be anyone I want here.
Here things don't have to make sense.
In this place I can hide from the truth.
I can run from the harsh reality of the world.
In this place I can be with those who have left me all alone.
But then there's the screeching of my uncle,
And I must leave the comforts of this place.
So that I may confront the cold hard world
And have my burdens placed upon my shoulders again.
That is until the next time the darkness surrounds me in my dreams.
