I hid behind the window still,
Holding back every will.

Darkness is my friend,
I knew this until the end.

A thin line covered me from light,
Feeling a fight with night.

I hid,
And hid,
Till the mornings gaze hit me.

I pulled back my hood,
There stood the enemy.

My black hair full of dark,
Exposed my true colors,
Underneath laid a bright true me,
How I always wanted to be.

When the daylight peeks,
It always shows the way,
Away from everything gray.

I have been told I have black hair. Except, when my hair makes contact with the sun, it turns bright compared to the darkness of my hair.
