I sit alone in the dark,
it’s a place of safety.
The light is not my enemy,
but she is not my friend.
She does not know me.

I sit alone in the dark
even though it is lonely.
The light shows everything,
all me insecurities, my fears.
Loneliness is not as bad.

I sit alone in the dark
because you are not my friend.
You mock me for who I am,
but in the light I see you.
I see you for who you really are.

I sit alone in the dark
knowing that one day you will too.
And when that day comes,
the light will finally shine on me.
You will always see me but I will never see you.
