Darkness is a large preadator.

It preys on the youth and the weak.

The children imagine monsters,

While the frail hold them in their minds.

The young ones cover their faces,

Whilst the weak conceal their problems.

Metaphorical, physical,

Darkness can come in two forms.

Both lead to insanity,

Gnawing at your brain 'til you're gone.

Nightlights will not protects you, no

Neither will pills and physicians.

So leave the lights on through the night,

Or try to fall asleep before.

Though it's useless, for it will come.

It'll swallow your mind right up.

It is inescapable-

Darkness is a large predator.
