Shadows In The Darkness Poem by Natalie Sapphire

Shadows in the darkness
Swallowing many
Fear of getting eaten
Fear of the fading light
Afraid of entering the forest
Where no one comes back out
Don't want to proceed
Don't want to continue
There's no way back now
There's no way of escaping
There's no trap door
To go home and be relieved
Can't go back to my family
Can't go back to my friends
I guess I'm just going to have to face
The shadows in the darkness
