This is a gentle, emotional poem about finding truth, strength, and self-understanding in dark moments. It shows darkness not as fear, but as a quiet teacher—a place where honesty begins, and light is slowly born.

I Love Darkness

I love darkness, quiet and deep,
A gentle place where secrets sleep.
It slows my breath, it lets me stay,
A tender pause at end of day.

In darkness, truth has space to rise,
No masks to wear, no need for lies.
It holds my fear, it hears my cries,
Then turns them soft before my eyes.

When light is loud and asks too much,
Darkness heals with honest touch.
It teaches strength, it teaches grace,
To meet myself face to face.

In silent hours, my thoughts grow clear,
I learn what matters, what is dear.
Darkness shows me who I am,
Not who I fake, not who I plan.

For every night, a dawn is near,
A whispered hope, a growing cheer.
Darkness is not the end I see—
It’s where the light is born in me.

So I don’t run, and I don’t fight,
I walk with dark toward the light.
I love darkness, calm and true,
Yes, it makes me whole, it makes me me ❤️
