Light or Dark

Hidden in the Dark, Shown in the light

If I find you in the dark

Can you stay with me in the light?

Being in the dark is easy because it hides all that we are

Allowing us to create the façade of who we want to be

Without the dark we must display it all

The light hides nothing

Show us for all we pretended be

Making sure our most vulnerable self is presented.

Can you love me in light?

In the dark we grew closer with false confidence guiding us

Standing in the sun exposed

Everything in the dark comes to light

I hope you’ll still find me in the light as you did in the dark.

Do you recognize me?
