Comfort In Unfamiliar Places by Pamela O'Brien

Sometimes the darkness brings upon our fears and insecurities,
It can raise up our doubts and the feeling of inferiority,
But sometimes I find the darkness to be full of tranquility,
A place where I am surrounded by unfamiliarity.
Why the darkness is comforting is a mystery to me,
Perhaps its because I can escape from reality.........

Yes
the sun can shine bright or the rain falling all around with it's musical sound yet listen in the dark for the beauty that comes from your heart

the darkness
this poem hits me and I seek the darkness to hide from the light--I honestly am amazed to find someone that can discribe the darkness as friend--how you made your way down the corridors to my private room is a surprise
there aren't any light switches on the walls

You guys sure do read a lot of my poems eh? I am touched to know that I touched you on such a personal note with my words. In answer to your question of how I found my way down your corridors Roy, I must say that I didn't. I found my way down mine, and perhaps they are so very alike that I've found my way down yours accidentally.

Well, I know who you are now!
As for my deepest thoughts, I do not even understand them, that is why I write poetry - to tap into them and get a better grasp on myself. I would love to read this missing poem and hear your take on my deepest thoughts as well....
As for the self-respect, don't beat yourself up about it. If we didn't all have a lack of it at
some point or another, we would be even more egotistical and selfish then we are now. It keeps
us humble sometimes you know :o)
