Dark
by
Robby Richardson
A mysterious silence and the clanging of a chain
A whisper soft as rain calling out your name
The chill that runs up your spine
The monsters you see in your mind
The cold sweat that covers your skin
Heart rate quickening and let the breathing begin
Terror is terror and terror is frightening
The primal instinct of being scared
A mystery in the dark, the question to answer the dare
To stand tall or cower in a Devil's lair
It is only in the dark where we come to light
It is only in the dark where our mind comes to light
Creativity shows and the birth of who and what we are
What do you see when you look into the darkness
Do you see the monsters that surround you
The problems that overcome you
The life that overtakes you
But it is in THAT darkness that you can find who you are
Do you let the darkness fill inside you...become one with you
Do you rise above it
NO
You stand within the darkness...you let the darkness surround you
Let it stretch above you and below you
Because you have nothing to fear
Breathe it in deeply and stroll out because you have nothing to fear
And that is when you are free
When you can let the darkness in your life grow and grow
Grow so high or so low, fast or slow no matter how hard the wind blows
To stand there and just say NO take you're best shot
To laugh and say is that the best you got
To look the monster in the face...to yell...to live...to die
Was blind now but now I see so repeat after me...I AM FREE
And that's where you find yourself in the dark
The End
