There Are No Answers in the Darkness

close your eyes and close them tight. close your ears and close them tight. clench your fists and clench them tight. but is it safe? you cant be sure. youve closed off three of your sense, to protect, but now you cant see, cant hear, and cant feel. you responded in defense but what are you defending and who from? you wanted shutting it all out to make it all alright, but you cant find in the darkness. all it has to offer is empty and overbearing. it will exhaust you because youre foolishly searching for secrets locked in light. darkness only has one thing to offer you, a place to hide, for however long you should need it, but its good for nothing else. there is no comfort. no warm embrace waiting. no burden lifting moment. no clarity. darkness offers a morbid refuge for it demands you bring the pain from which you long to rest. you can only keep your eyes closed for so long and though you pray it all would be gone when you finally decide to see it wont be. the darkness has no answers. no words of freedom or comfort. no peace. stop hiding. you chained yourself to the false security now set yourself free. stop hiding.
