Escape

In the darkness where shadows dwell.
 Is there strength in bitterness 
 or only decay.
 When the unknown springs wide
 those massive jaws.
 How hard do you try to run away?
 In the moment you think 
 all will be well-
 panic sets in
 and only time will tell.
 In this darkness where shadows dwell.
 Waiting for a light,
 to wash away that forever night.
