Darkness

Darkness The night surrounds me. It settles on my skin Like a set of clothes Yet is not a comfort to me. The night hides what is seen In the harsh light of day. Illusions appear in the dark of the night Where is there is no shinning ray of light to dispel them. The darkness smothers me; Making it hard to breathe. There are times that I feel like It’s trying to consume me. The dark wants me for its own It wants me to succumb to it. It wants to drag me in And trap me inside it. There are times that I am tempted To fall into that deep oblivion; No cares, no concerns, no pain To just rest for once.
