Denial

I just can't bring myself to ask for help.

My days are sinking shorter

and my nights are growing longer

The chains are getting tighter

as the water’s becoming colder

But

If darkness is my inspiration

why should I search for light?

Interesting. I think it's a matter of embracing and accepting what we have. Some of us find it difficult to get used to the darkness in our life, groping for the way out towards light.

I liked reading this. Nicely penned 👍

Brilliant! In just a few words you portry a condition and an attitude. I liked it very much.

Sometimes a little extra time in the dark helps us appreciate the light. You shut the poem off quickly - just like shutting off the light...well done!

Some of us need darkness to think and write. To know peace and calm. I like the thoughts and the question at the ending. Thank you Liz for sharing the excellent poetry.
