Fight Against Darkness

In the darkness There lies a figure Tall and slender Gracious and calmly With a hidden strength With an assertive stance My mind questioning Should I run or confront The chaotic thoughts running My body stands still Being frozen in time Legs of solid concrete The figure standing nigh Watching with deepened eyes Piercing through like a spear Waiting in a pensive stance With a stretched out hand A gesture to follow Fighting the feeling I should be scared Numb to the sight In a sense of ease I take hesitant steps Depleting fear within The figure smiles Turns and begins to walk Having a hidden agenda Drawing away from the light Subtly descending in darkness Unwavering and loyal Slowly creeping towards the darkness I feel an inward sense Telling me to turn away I glance back at the light Being faded by darkness My legs locked into place Furious and unrelenting The figure released a fierce scream From calmly to agitation Knowing he’d be empty handed He stretched his hand to grasp Failing, he continued to fall in darkness Feeling a change in power I began fleeting away Turning against the darkness Legs nimble and fast Grasping at the light Leaving with a new hope.
