Angie Thomas Poet Rhyme

The Cold Light of Day

Even as the cold light of dawn breaks over the horizon,
I shudder at the thought of the darkness inside...the poison.

Even as the day gets progressively warm,
I shiver at the chill, at the thought of the storm,
the storm that's raging inside.

Even as we speak, I can hear it...
the cackles of a witch, even I have to admit.

I'm sorry...I wish I could say,
as  in the cold light of day,
it dawns on me that I was wrong.
