Favorite Quote:
Truth has many shades. It's not a matter of black and white, but many grays.


The shadows churn

And seethe in the corners.

Dark entities lurk

Waiting in the thick blackness

For a victim to call theirs.

 

My heart races

As little feet tap

And patter,

Following me at a distance,

But always keeping me in their range.

 

I imagine the teeth

Sinking into my vulnerable flesh

When I dare to get too careless

And step into the domain

Of shadows.

 

I dare not go where I cannot see.

I dare not go.

Who knows what's waiting for me,

Who knows what lurks in the dark,

Who knows?


The author's comments:

One of my greatest fears is what I cannot see, so I thought that writing about it can help with my fear and maybe help other understand how I feel.
