World of Light

In the darkest times,
I find no comfort,
not from the light,
or even the darkness,
I have found no comfort,
in anything,
no light in my darkness,
no ease to my pain,,
just the distress,
the loneliness,
the pain,
I can no longer escape.
I have found myself,
slipping,
further from the reality,
of the person I once was,
so long ago,
that person,
so far away,
so lost,
in the darkness of my head,
I find nothing,
of the reality,
I wish I knew.
I occasionally attempt to leave,
to slip away,
to hide,
in the darkness,
of the world of light,
the place where they smile,
to hide the tears,
that are invisible,
to those who don't care anymore,
those who can't see anything,
beyond what we show them,
those who don't care enough,
to look beyond that.
