To the Darkness Consumed by Darkness
I once believed
that closing my eyes
meant seeing nothing at all.
Like a room
with all the lights turned off.
Or a sky
without a single star.
But one night,
I realized
that darkness was not the end.
Because beyond it,
there was another kind of darkness
waiting underneath.
It did not come all at once.
Instead,
it quietly swallowed everything.
As though it were pulling me deeper
into a place
where even the sound of my own voice
began to disappear.
And for the first time,
I was afraid
to close my eyes.
I tried to think of anything
that might give me a reason
to open them again.
The responsibilities
waiting for me tomorrow.
A clock
with a dead battery.
A phone
that would never ring loudly enough
to wake me.
I was not ready
to sink any further.
And yet,
one thing came to mind.
A striped little soul.
A small presence
that somehow pulled me back
toward the surface.
And so,
I opened my eyes.
