Light in the Dark

I hate myself.

But I hate myself more in silence.

I’m louder, meaner, angrier, uglier, more hateful, more disgusting and less me in the silence.

I’m stuck with my worst self in the silence.

No matter how hard I try there is no way out.

I scream and I scream but I just can’t escape.

Then out of the dark there's a light.

Faint but there.

It's warm and the closer it gets it starts to fill the silence.

With words of love, happiness, joy, encouragement.

And I know this hate will pass.

Because with her I know can get through anything.
