The scary stark light very bright,
Is the reason behind my fright;
The darkness you find fearful,
Dresses me pretty and beautiful;
Afraid I am to face myself in light,
For I will lose my optimistic sight;
The dark is understanding and kind,
It makes me feel pretty when I am blind;
This darkness creates a blissful paradise,
Enjoying freedom with no need to back lies;
The darkness downs my tears I try to hide,
Allowing my fake face mask to slide;
Making me beautiful, confident and bold,
Setting soul free and enlivening multifold.

very beautifully written…
together with the genuineness/mask post.
instead of staying in my darkness I take my mask off from the very beginning. it usually catches others off guard and within a second you know from their reaction, their face or body gestures, from what they say, who they are.
it reveals immediately who they are. so then I know and I “manage” them accordingly, the nasty ones I mean.
of course you need to take of your mask tactfully, cleverly, so that you don’t endanger your life or what you want to achieve. you ask a question. you say something which you value a lot, but know it shouldn’t sound like a threat for them. and then you can see
two months ago, I told to someone who hired me that I was very happy since I enjoyed the specific job a lot.
she frowned and looked at me angrily and said “yes, but the money is good too”
I said, yes….but I already knew who I’m dealing with. two months later I quit because she tried to screw me pay-wise over petty-cash while the customers were all extremely happy with me
you write from your heart. I wish/hope you have found the space & environment where you can also live with your heart

Good morning, This is by far my favorite poem of yours. I love the rhythm of it. Darkness have been translated as loneliness, sadness & fear. However, your poem presented a different view. The image added another layer to the poem; perfect choice. I would like to thank you for liking my blog post βGlimmering Glow Pearl π«πβ. It meant so much to me. Have a lovely day. πΈ

Very interesting observation, as a Chaplain I feel I need point out the bible makes it clear manβs nature is to be drawn to the darkness and reject the light. One would think it would be the opposite.
