In The Darkness

By: Olivia Burd

The lights flick off, the silence surrounds the room.

It feels empty, yet so full.

The darkness hides the things around you,

but your mind is now cluttered.

The thoughts are free to soar.

The unspoken words are spinning.

It's a great time to think,

unless the thoughts are scary.

Lonely, but alone with my own thoughts.

Peaceful, but it's making my heart crumble to pieces.

Dark, but so dark I can't find the happy thoughts.
