Secrets in the Dark
They say wandering means you’re lost
They say wandering means you’re alone
They say wandering means you’re purposeless
But what if wandering is my freedom
What if wandering is my dream
What if wandering is the only way I can forget about everything
The only way I can hear my own voice
They say darkness is dangerous
They say darkness is sadness
They say darkness is soulless
But what if darkness is my escape
What if darkness is my shelter
What if darkness is the only place where I can actually be me
The only place I can let myself free
The light unravels my worries and doubts
The light reminds me of my regrets
The light reveals my pretending
And there is fear that in the light everyone can see-
There is fear in the light that everyone will see-
There is fear that in the light my flaws will be revealed
And eventually everyone will finally see what I see-
My broken mask that hides my pain
My smile that hides insecurities
My wistful dreams that I know will never be reached
And a heart that is slowly tearing apart
And in this darkened wandering
It is only then
I can finally acknowledge
This void inside of me
