Don'T Trust the Dark

Darkness is a mystery,
Cold and Unwelcoming,
Giving us a fright,
Monsters lurk within,
Created and fed our kin,
Grabbing at feet that dangle off the bed,
It is the unknown,
A scary lack of light,
Hiding metaphorical creatures,
Engulfing our source of sight,
We fear the unknown,
What can never be shown,
Darkness is but a mystery,
An eternal vision of death.
