Member-only storyThere’s a Darkness in MeBrad·FollowPublished inThe Pub·Apr 11, 2024--ShareMy first ever poemPhoto by Eyasu Etsub on UnsplashThere’s a darkness in meThat wants to be free.It hides down belowWhere it thinks I won’t know.But I need to see it plainBecause it holds all my pain.And it’s neither rationalNor is it sane.
