Staying in darkness

It’s alright to stay in the dark
It’s alright to want to stay in the dark
Forcing light into your space
when you are still adjusting to the darkness
would just take you back out
from the uncomfortable
disorientation that you are
still trying to understand
Forcing light into your space
would just bring you back to comfort
where you navigate this world
solely with your eyes.

When you allow the darkness to devour you
when you allow yourself to sit
in that discomfort long enough
you are forced to start navigating with the core of your existence

Your heart.
