I welcome the darkness, <br />I'll take it as it comes. <br />It swallows me up whole, <br />and helps me understand better. <br />It gives me an escape, <br />a way out of this hell. <br />I can't live without the darkness. <br />I would die without it there.<br /><br />Natalie Beers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkness-199/
