I Like Darkness

I like darkness.

The tears of the eyes need not hide

To express their emotions.

I like darkness.

My mind possesses sadness

Of my heart.

I like darkness,

For darkness never deceives me.

Light robs me,

Becoming at times an untrue companion

And at times, a false lover.

I like darkness,

It never reproaches me,

It never makes me untouchable.

I only get pain in the light,

At times,

I receive the slap of insult on my face,

At times,

I endure the hateful whip on my back.
