The darkness closes around me.

It holds me like a lover’s embrace.

Darkness so thick I can almost feel it against my skin.

I don’t fear the darkness

I welcome it.

It feels warm and comfortable to me, not cold.

Here in the darkness away from prying eyes

I can finally be myself.

Just me, not pretensions, no reputation to keep up,

Just me.

And no one can see my tears quietly fall.
