Darkness

Sayuri Vohra

I am the absence of light.

Calm, beautiful

Peaceful.

Providing a time of tranquility,

Protecting those who want to stay hidden.


I’m forced to keep secrets, things hidden,

Away from the light

My protection, my peace, makes me foreboding.

People are scared of me, what I am

What I will do to them


I make up things that no one wants to shed light on,

That no one wants to see

I am not a positive thing

With light everywhere, how could I be?


I’m the opposite of truth, of knowledge, of happiness

The good parts of me are ignored,

Set aside as people view me on the surface.

Many of them want the light, the visibility present with it

If people remembered what I used to mean

If they knew how much I wanted to help them


I am important,

But many don’t see that
