Dark
I’m hiding away where no one can see me.
My skin crawls and my hair stands on end.
I can’t see anything but
the black void on all sides of me.
There's a bang coming from the darkness.
I can’t let it get me.
I run as fast as I can
away from it all.
Don’t let it hurt me.
The floor booms under my footsteps
and I jump at the noise.
The smallest creak makes me cower.
The darkness surrounds me more
and I yell
Go!
Go away!
It doesn’t listen and I try to hide again.
If it can’t see me I’m safe
until I'm not anymore.
Until it gets me.
