Darkness

I'm afraid

I don't want the darkness to reach me

like black fingers that touch my insecurities

making me feel what I try to hide

what I bury because I don't want to feel the pain

it holds me tight

I cry out for help but no one hears

it's cold icy fingers twang at my heart

I just want to go

I'm so afraid

afraid that I wont be able to hold it down any longer

trying to hide

trying to run

it finds me

it always does

I let my guard down

and the darkness gets to me

what should I do?

What could  I do?

I let it reach me

but it will go

when morning comes

chasing the darkness away

and I am free

at least for the day

until night comes again

Many kind of darkness. Some harder to fight against. I liked the honest emotions and fear felt in the words. Thank you Maddie for sharing the excellent poetry.
