The darkness was my friend

So I didn’t fight for the light

I trapped myself in this room

Deep in my mind

I boarded up the windows

And locked all the doors

Because if I let myself out

Then my heart would be torn

So I sat in the darkened room

With out a worry nor a care

For this was my safe place

When my mind took me here

The outside world was scary

And full of endless pain

I was fine being here

Where no one knew my name

Maybe it was my trauma

That drew me here

Or maybe I just built this place

To escape all my fears

I could stay here forever

Withdrawal from reality

But I have to go back

To the world that surrounds me

So this is goodbye

To my friend of the dark

Maybe one day

I’ll gain back my spark
