Poem A Day Challenge - February 11th, 2024.
blackout curtains;
close the blinds.
hide in plain sight.
call my line,
and i'll end it
before it begins.
it's easier to pretend
i don't exist
than to remember
what it's like
to feel bliss.
***
Now it's getting silly and I'm just trying to see /what/ I can do in such a short amount of time, and it's not it. I have 20 minutes left, but I'll call it at that. The bite is no longer itchy

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.

Hide in plain sight! I love that line, so fitting with the curtains. Makes me want to run out and buy some. LOL.
This felt very relatable, to be honest. Loved your poem!
