The Dark
May 16, 2012
The dark, or should I say the unknown,
A nightlight won’t help you now.
Many run away,
I jump in.
The mystery calls me,
I am intrigued by scary.
I hear my name,
I have to go and play.
Why do I want this?
What makes me need it?
Who else is like me?
Am I normal?
Those who do wrong,
They are the weird ones,
The minority.
Or are they?
Liking to be hidden,
Not being judged.
Isn’t that what everyone wants?
Is the dark the true light?
