In the light everyone is judged.

No matter height, weight, race, identity, sexuality.

It can be miserable for most

But in the dark,

We all look the same.

We’re all shadows,

Unable to be seen in the dark.

Nobody can be judged in the dark,

So why do we prefer the light?...

They say we are all different but we are all apart of the human race.

We all come from our parents even if we don’t speak to them.

We look different but have the same senses.

We all came into this earth and will leave it.

We will all live differently lifes but will look the same in the grave.

We don’t all live the same length or end up in the same place but we all lived through the eyes of a h...

We all look the same in the dark.

Except i can feel your soul.

The way it calls out to mine.

Pulling me in harder and stronger as i reach for the stars.

Like gravity pulling back me back down to earth.

So grounded.

So genuine.

So warm.

So safe.

Completing me in every way.

The other half to my soul.

My soulmate....

The lights were off

Silent noise

Completely in the dark!

No heartbeats do I hear

Of all the strangers that are near

I’m on a slap in the morgue

With a tag on my toe!

have to be identified

Cause my name is not John Doe!

In my mind, I definitely know

That I have passed away

Hoping guardian angels come

And take me ALL away

piece by piece, that’s all that’s left

of my body’s remains

For I w...

Fear is a dangerous thing

No one likes to show it, but we all know we feel it

It makes us do things

Awful things

We can see better with light

But when someone turns them out, we are blind

If we cannot see one another

We are afraid of what we can do

Scrambling in the darkness, refusing to be last

We think we have more light to make it through

But the truth of it is

We all look the same in the dark

...

Blond, brown, black, no one strand the same

As the light shines, face and body shift

Differences shown by flame

Each different look a gift.

In daylight, your reflection is never the same

Always looking different from them

In the daylight, looks define your name

Where jealousy or ego may stem

Shadows dance on the edge

Friends of the dark, slowly coming in

Visibility sitting on the edge

But wha...

hope is lost for humanity in this flowing river of now.

people judge based simply off of what their eyes convey; what pleases the windows to their soul,

and not the spiritual being hidden underneath the flesh, blood and bone.

I defend, I debate, I argue, I persuade.

yet no action of mine can change mankind’s minds.

respect is decided, handed out to whom thought to deserve it.

to whom that meets b...

We all look the same in the dark

Where silence smooths each jagged mark.

No lines remain of wealth and skin,

No wars of where we end or begin.

The past can’t judge, the past can’t cling,

The hush becomes a levelling thing.

No borders drawn by name or place,

Just breath, just hearts, just floating grace.

Our sparks will never fade....

You cannot judge a book by the cover

for you cannot know what’s inside

could it be a horror story?

or something you shall hide?

It may contain some nasty secrets

where you will skip the mark

but we cannot learn this from just the cover

for we all look the same in the dark...

We couldn’t be any more different from one another

you’re blonde,

I’m brunette,

you’re happy,

I’m sad,

you’re alone,

I’m surrounded by people, yet I still feel alone.

You’re dead,

gone.

Now I can only feel your presence in the darkness.

In the dark, we are all sad-

alone

dead.

Maybe we aren’t so different after all.

Whether here or gone,

we all look the same in the dark

blinded by the shadows that...
