The lonely child

somewhere there is a child who embraces the dark and hates the light, because the light shows what he is and what others are. that little child protects himself by hiding in the shadows, away from the views and thoughts of others. he finds dark places to pass the time, but he usually just sits and thinks and cries. this is the child that doesn't want to be seen by other children and who hides from adults. this child is afraid of light becuase others don't understand him. this is the little girl who hides beneath her bed all day long and doesn't want to go out and enjoy the flowers and butterflies. these children are the ones who will be perfectly content to sit all day by themselves, alone and undesturbed. they don't need to have friends to find peace and solace. they can find it within themselves. when they are alone, that is when they truly are happy, being left to simply be in solitude. these are the children that nobody really knows about, or awhat they are like. everyone wonders about them because they don't seem to need to hang out with everybody else to be happy. they live their lives away from the world, and yet somehow....they don't mind.

...........these are the children of my mind.............
