Love Poem: A Familiar

A Familiar

Darkness and Light
  I used to love the dark
   No one could see me
     I was secretly safe
Things sounded clearer
I could feel my way around
Until everything was familiar
Then I learned to read
and needed light
To chase the words around
Until everything was familiar
Now I love the light
I’m learning how to write
And everything is feeling
so familiar
I 
think 
I’ll 
get 
a 
cat
