Darkness Poem by Jaclyn Payne

A dark vast emptiness,
It is scareful, all alone.
Wandering, don't know where you're stepping,
Your foot takes a step, don't know whether good or bad.

Vast emptiness, all alone, in the dark,
Don't know who or what is there,
Good or bad, who knows,
Certainly not you.

A step forward could lead somewhere,
On a journey to your destination,
Or to somewhere else.
It's a maze of crossways.

Crossways lead many paths,
Many places with many people,
Strange people, strangers.
People that aren't familiar.

You start walking, somewhere,
Somewhere in the dark,
Somewhere.
Somewhere.
