THE DARKNESS

Posted on November 29, 2021 by pskessell

“The Darkness”

Inside the heart lives a darkness there.

It seeps out and even gives me a scare.

Sometimes, creepy and nervous and all fidgety

Wanting to grab you in your time of need.

Blacker and darker,

Not gray any longer.

Creepier and stronger,

Crying even harder.

The darkness surrounds me.

It’s everywhere!

I cannot help it now but to feel scared!

I open my mouth wide to scream,

And quickly,

The darkness disappears

Back inside of me.
