Darkness
October 26, 2017
It’s all around me
Everywhere I turn there’s darkness
The sun is fading
The light’s gone forever
The wind screams through the trees
The wolf's howling
People screaming
Screaming in pain
It’s scary here
Can you come get me?
I want the light
The big reddish orange globe in the
Big beautiful
Blue sky
I want peace
The sun shining on my face
Burning my skin
Wind whipping through my hair
Tying it in knots
The sweet scent of roses
The loud voices
I’m don’t want to be alone
I want others like me
Please come get me
I won't be bad anymore
Mommy
Daddy
Can you come get me?
