caught in the dark (Free verse) by http://fenechia.com Im sitting as if im in a closet and I can't turn on the light.
I reach for the light switch, but realize I can't get up
You would think I would be afraid, shouting and screaming for help.
Is the dark really that bad I ask you?
Its a peaceful place, a peaceful thought. The dark.
I can hit that switch at anytime and then I would be able to see that
person in that mirror.
There is know mirror, so Im not able to see that image. Who is in the
dark.
Do you really know. Do I really know..

I love how you tease yourself with the thought of you even casting a reflection to judge yourself this shrewdly in the first place.

Oh, this is deep. Lights on. Light off. Do you really know who the person that you inhabit might be? Are we all just robots? Light on! Light off! Why do we sit as if we are in closets and not actually in closets? Lights on! Light off! Who are we but a mere freckle that can spell at the level of a third grader?
