Darkness

[eternalscribe]

Darkness
---------

I'm sitting alone in the dark
Clutching a stuffed animal to my chest
The tears that flood my eyes
Disappearing into that fur
I feel so alone, I feel so confused
Unsure about my place in the group

I hide in my room, silence my friend
Curled up under my blankets
The cold tearing at my heart
The loneliness ripping me apart
I don't understand these feelings
But that doesn't help my hurt

My head feels like a heavy weight
My tears won't seem to fade
I sit here again
Trying to make sense of it all.
