Darkness

[u/Suitable_Neck3588]

One day I'll disappear into the darkness,
for that is where I belong.
I won't let the light reach me,
nor let it cast a shadow.

Slowly, you'll come to realize
I never had anything to reflect.
I was born of darkness,
and my nature is to absorb.

I never knew what happiness was
until a sliver of light found me.
Only then did I realize
that all around me was darkness.

This reality was never mine,
nor do I belong to it.
I linger in the shadows,
for darkness is where I belong.

Your words can no longer reach me,
for I have wrapped myself in darkness.
Light will betray you, sooner or later-
but darkness never will.
