In the Dark
April 19, 2023
Sometimes it is dark.
It is Dense and Deep and Dark
But I don’t mind.
It is warm and peaceful in the dark.
I don’t need to worry because I cannot see.
I do not worry about the monsters that lurk under the bed
Or if what I am wearing matches everyone else
I can’t see them in the Dark.
Sometimes it is dark.
It is Dim and Dull and Dark
But I don’t mind.
Beautiful music plays in the dark
A full orchestra no one can see.
I doodle on my test with colored pencils
And I write creative essays My Way.
Ones that would not get As,
But no one can grade me
They can’t see them in the Dark.
Sometimes it is dark.
It is Divine and Dazed and Dark
But I don’t mind.
It smell like a perfect spring day
And it tastes like delicious foods.
I can lay under a blooming cherry tree all day.
There is no work or chores or school to rush too,
No one can find me in the dark.
Sometimes it is dark
But when day comes and my alarm goes off,
I open my eyes,
My mother calls for me,
And the bus takes me too school,
It is no longer dark.
