comfort
if you ever asked me what brings me comfort,
you would probably expect the normal answers.
a person.
a place.
a thoughtful gesture by someone you love.
the warmth of a clear sunny day.
but that is not me.
my comfort comes from the dark depths of my mind.
the parts of my mind that i find so easy to go back to.
where i feel like i have control.
the darkness encapsulates every crevice of my being.
but it is that darkness that brings me security.
i have been here before,
i know how this goes.
it is that feeling that brings me serenity.
so much so that i find myself going back
to those old dark parts of myself.
the parts that started an avalanche within my life.
but at least i know how this one goes,
at least i can be confident that every ounce of my being knows,
that these dark places in my mind
can bring me back to the roots of mankind
