I don’t dwell in dark places.
What lurks in the recesses,
the lonely parts
of my mind, frightens
me more than monsters
haunting stuffed closets and
dusty under-beds.

Inspiration: I wrote this recently while struggling with the sadness that settles over me at times. I didn’t have a reason to be anything other than content, which is why this recurring ‘darkness’ gets to me. I don’t understand it, can’t explain it, and never know how long it will last, which is why I fear it. I wouldn’t exactly be thrilled to find a monster in the closet, but at least I can comprehend that… and would have a chance to beat it into submission 🙂
I hope you have a beautiful Monday. I’m glad you stopped by today!
