Darkness Consumed


An uncontrollable wave of doom

Locked alone in a dark room. 

Shadows moving all around, 

Steadily creeping with no sound. 

I scream for help, but no one comes, 

I'm stuck imaging what's to succumb. 

 

Nothing was real

Nothing caused harm. 

It's not a big deal

No cause for alarm

 

The darkness is not menacing. 

The darkness is not intimidating.

The darkness is not a threat. 

Primal fears consumed me then, 

Primal instincts overcame death. 

Close your eyes and let go

Release yourself 

Let darkness consume you
