Don't Turn off the Light


My heart sinks

Seeing one horrible, swift motion.

My eyes blink

And I am consumed by an ocean.

I panick quick,

My time has come.

I am so sick,

My limbs are numb.

This is not fun.

I will not run.

Darkness is not to scare...

Yet it tingles my hair.

I rise above,

I feel the love,

And morning comes.

Fear not,

I think to myself.

March on,

Never fear the dark.
