Darkness
By Caitlin Brown

The light is full of promises, yet the dark is thrilling.
It has the thrill of the unknown, but holds the lies that the light shows.
The light makes us safe and when we let go,
We are taken into the dark to never be free.
For when we leave the light we are never to be seen
As we have let the light go, the darkness welcomed us home,
Never to let go.

Him
By Caitlin Brown

He follows me down the dark street.
His footsteps are close,
As I can hear them on the eroding sidewalk.
The man has the power to play with my thoughts,
For I never have a clear mind.
He plays with my mind and tells me,
I need to let go of the light.
When I let go he meets me there, but it is not pleasant.
The place I am to call home is my utter fear.
The utter fear of complete darkness,
With no light to protect me from my thoughts.
