Darkness Poem by Caroline S. P. Keller

Darkness

Rating: 5.0


In the dark
I cannot see
Anything
In front of me

I stumble back
And watch my feet
For this darkness
I will defeat

I will be brave
I won't delay
To get up there
I'll have to pray

I only came down
For a short moment
But I'll go back
Still dominant

The lamp lights are off
I'm on my tip toes
Went to the kitchen
And I bonked my nose

I wanted a drink
To end my big thirst
Then turned around
Scared to be cursed

I am big
They are small
I won't scream
Neither fall

The monsters can call
The devils can die
I won't be afriad
I won't even cry

For I'll run fast
I'll pass them all
They won't see me
Across the hall

I'll go upstairs
Where I am safe
In the brightness
Where I have faith

I made it through
Through the dark night
Where I was down
Not in the light

Now I can go
Go into bed
Where I can sleep
Not with the dead
