You shouldn't get to know those dark places

You shouldn't get to know those dark places.

The feeling you would drown in those thoughts
shrink the felicity which moves you everyday.
You shouldn't meet those dark thoughts.

But you will
sooner than later.

And I'm wondering if I should be there
If it's me
who will be able to enlighten you
or you'll find me there, in the dark,
all blind as I have long been
unable to take me out, to take you out

Will you be, then,
whose childish energy brings the path to follow
Is it you.

You shouldn't get to know those dark places.
