Disdain for the Light

by any1mark

Light kills the soul

We are not what we seem

Only in darkness we relax

Fences fall, personality drifts

I become myself amongst y’all

Tensions subside, smiles curl

My words tell truths your ears know

Edgy in the daylight, comfy now

Why we hide ourselves unknown?

Coyote traits to fool myself

Is rejection such an issue for me

You never know where my heart lies

I’ll assure every feeling to get my way

My safety is in the deep shadows

No sterile sunshine to gloss over

No empty promises of perfection

The night is for wonton ways

Silk escapes of what should be

I love the night for the freedom

I disdain the light for bleakness.

Off line

by any1mark

My connection is down

No signal to outside world

Lost in confusion for a way

Restoring to local contact

Awkward conversations grow

Strangers left together for years

I’m well aware of your issues

But never seen your personality

I find you less annoying somehow

The distance of a barbed wire fence

The closeness we always shared

It seems we may not be as different

A blackout was needed to see you

I should apologize for not noticing

The person that you have always been

We share an impersonal nature

We choose the easiness of isolation

Maybe the world isn’t cold, just lazy

In mist of internet darkness, I grow

Wait, the networks back got to go
