when the light comes

by khadjahelaine

Maybe I’m meant to be alone. Because I’m so misunderstood. People don’t allow for me to be my freest and truest self, even if I wanted to be…

Even in a crowded room, I feel alone.

Even with my closest friend, I feel unseen.

No shoulder to cry on cuz no one feels my pain.

No one notices the deep wound life has caused.

The stain, dark and red.

I push and push you away,

Playing hide and seek

But hoping that if you uncover the darkness that lies in wait,

You would embrace me.

Flaws and all.

But the stain is too dark,

And the wound is too deep,

To find the light.

Please don’t run when the light comes.

When it exposes all my secrets.

Don’t run when the light comes.

And shines so brightly through your rose-colored glasses.

Don’t run.

Bask in the beauty of every heartache and pain.

Don’t leave.

Don’t run.
