The Darkness Is My Friend

The light is abusive
But the darkness is my friend.
The light blinds me
But the darkness lets me see.
The light stabs me
But the darkness gently holds me.
The light lets me fall
But the darkness catches me
With a strong hold.
The light shoves me down
And pins me there
But the darkness lifts me up
And keeps me standing.
The light keeps me locked
In a chokehold
But the darkness lets me breathe.
The light tortures me every day
But the darkness is my refuge.
But as the light forces its way in,
It kills the darkness
And takes me away forever.
