A haunting poem depressing the love of darkness and the fear of the open light, see if you can find the hidden meaning.

The Pit

My darkness comes lying to me again in the light

“You promised you’d return” I say with my might

The darkness ignores me, he’ll never reply

So I sit in my pit, in the light and I cry

So you think it is easy to live in the sun

Playing games, singing songs, having nothing but fun

But when darkness comes do you not thank your god?

For the peacefulness lays you down, and you start to nod

And you fall into sleep, dreaming of days to come

But I only smile because light makes me numb

So when the dark comes I’ll be blissful and gay

Though only short hours contains me this way

For soon it will shine bright outside in the sky

And I will again, go home, and cry.
