Darkness


There are reasons to be afraid of the dark

Reasons that are unknown to many

But not unknown to me

The darkness can swallow you whole

It can create chaos in your life

It can make you insane

Dreams get contaminated, unable to run

Thoughts get exposed, unfiltered

Sight gets cloudy, unbroken

Darkness can control everything, if you let it
