Blinds
I've been sitting in the dark for so long.
I find it comforting.
I find it warm.
In a place where I can't be seen
A place where I can't be hurt
Where only I can hear my
Sorrowful Songs.
However I still find myself
Growing at an angle
Like a plant who’s leaves desperately
search
For the Source of Growth
The Promise of Future
The Hope of Tomorrow.
I opened the Blinds today
And just like my tiny plant
sprouting in the darkness
I found myself
Leaning towards the light
