Darkness Poem by Aaralyn Thaison

Most of the time the dark side is really attractive.
The dead is so close you can almost smell it.
There is no fear, only acceptance.
the acceptation that the darkness is heading up on you.
That you can feel it just a second behind you.

It follows you everywhere
It's heading up on you
No matter how hard you run
No matter how hard you try
He's gonna get you.
And he's gonna get you so bad.
There will be no more light, no more kindness
There will only be a empty darkness

But now I know what is heading up on me,
I slow down. Stop running.
Wait a second and then I turn around.
Leaving everything behind,
and face the only thing I really want right now
Hello darkness, I'm ready......
