Darkness

Fear or Brave?

By Rachael McCarthyPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

People are so afraid of the dark.

Of what lurks within.

You can't see a thing, and you can't stand the silence.

It drives you crazy, so you search for a light.

But what happens if you're trapped in the night?

Darkness is a friend, yet it comes and goes.

It will never leave you, not a friend or a foe.

Don't be scared, I am always here.

In the shadow of the night.

Fearsome and a fright.
