The Blackness

Magical Power

By Karen LaRuePublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Blackness is my friend

And that will never end

Don't ask where it begins

Because it is who I am

The void beckons me

You know

It's where I am free

All of the colors

They are mine

I keep them inside

Never to escape

Sparkles and glitter

Rainbows and glow

Sunshine and moonlight

Feed the magic I make

Because

Blackness is my friend

And that will never end

Don't ask where it begins

Because it is who I am

The void beckons me

You know

It's where I am free

He told me to smile

Imagine the nerve

It would only be just

If he misses the curb

This isn't your face

So keep your words to yourself

No one's your doll

I think my scowl is superb

Because

Blackness is my friend

And that will never end

Don't ask where it begins

Because it is who I am

The void beckons me

You know

It's where I am free

Just say it with cheer

No, fuck you and your check

It's not worth the regret

I'll keep my self-respect

You see, so I don't give a damn

I like my look of scorn

It matches what's inside

I guess I'm not what you expect

Because

Blackness is my friend

And that will never end

Don't ask where it begins

Because it is who I am

The void beckons me

It's where I am free

Why are you like this

Why can't you just fit in

Just make some normal friends

I'd rather sink into a black hole, embrace the quantum singularity and have time and space switch places

Cause my friends authentic

They love the darkness too

They might be weird like me

But I love their faces

Because

Blackness is my friend

And that will never end

Don't ask where it begins

Because it is who I am

The void beckons me

It's where I am free
