The Dark

There are times when the world becomes too much and my demons come out to feast and the only thing I want to do is hide myself in the dark, to hide myself and to let my shadows creep over me. It’s at these times that I don’t want to talk. When I don’t want to be saved, when I cannot be saved. It’s when I want my troubles to swallow me whole. This is when I am below nothing, when a kind word will mean nothing. So please let me sit alone in the dark. I will one day emerge from the shadows hoping you’re still there for me. Hoping you are still my friend. If you are not then I will go back to the shadows never to return. I know that some of you will understand this and that some of you won’t but the only thing I need you do is accept it. Accept that I am what I am and that I could be like this until the end of time.
