Is there a switch?

You can get close to my darkness
Only by finding yours.
Although their hands
Intertwine,
My dark and your light
Have little understanding.

I realise I am dark-less
or as you like to call it – light
It's just...
In the dark I can't find the switch
And your light is blinding.
 

It's not easy but
the truth is
You can help me find the switch
only by adjusting your eyes
to the dark.
In the darkness lies
understanding of where I am now
And in the light lies
understanding of what awaits.
 

I wish not to drag you
Into this
My path is mine
And I'm afraid it will hurt you.
I ask not for help
My path is mine
And I'm afraid it will hurt me.
Because I feel 

There is no switch.   


Hey guys! This is my first poem here. This one comes from a darker place of facing a depression. It is from pain where often the biggest changes start. Like a human being, my poems will grow here with you, step by step, day by day... Finding answers, meaning, communication...  Although they are not always about me (this one either), they reflect different stages in my life or different people in my life that mean a lot to me.

Thanks for reading and re-living this emotions with me.
Let's grow together.
