My Own Darkness

This is my darkness
Not yours

Something personal
Unshared

This is my own war
This darkness

Got no armies
Or weapons

Something personal
insignificant

Got no enemies too
Except myself

This is my own darkness
My own war

I am stepping into it
Now,

on this theatre
of war

move away from here.
i don't need light.
