Dark

Haha sorry guys, I had to!


The dark is where I wanna be
The reason is clear if you don’t see
It hides the glare of the superficial
It eliminates a world in which looks are crucial

In darkness everyone is the same
A body with a heart, a soul, a brain
Where in light a person is what they wear
Girls empty themselves into toilets and don’t even care

It’s all about appearance, out there in the light
People try to look fake with all of their might
Because they think if they look good, they’ll be accepted
But in the dark, looks are rejected

In the dark you can dance your own dance
Walk your own walk and you just might have the chance
To be you
‘Cause in the dark your identity shines through

People in light are living in lies
‘Cause your soul can’t be seen with your eyes
So the dark is where I wanna be
‘Cause the dark is the one true place where I am really me

So the next time you’re in a world obstructed by light
Close your eyes when you talk to someone and you just might
See the person for who they are, and like it too
‘Cause in the dark, your identity shines through

In all the years of my being a member of poetry club, of all the poetry i've read, this one poem continues to stand out. A bit cliche-ish but I like it, alot.
