    The Dark

    If I turn on the light

    Will I see my reflection?

    Alone in the dark

    I avoid all detection

     

    I break and I bruise

    I get cut and I bleed

    I live here in the dark

    I don’t want you to see

    This poem says in a few lines that darkness of spirit reflects a pain as real as life itself. Thank you for sharing this.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
