Darkness In The Night

By: Courtney Flanagan (Inspired by: Izzy Wolfen a imaginary friend of Courtney's')

The darkness in my room creates

A fear that will not leave my darkened soul.

It consumes my entire body then gradually eats at me all alive.

Dark wisps of wind circle my body as I'am slowly taken by fear.

Painfully and slowly all my joys, laughter, happiness,

peace, love, and courage escape my body in a red light of hope.

Replacing those emotions are pain, sadness, darkness, fear, and rage in

a dark shadow of black in ravels my body and squeezes it like a snake.

All the rest of my better emotions escape my body as the bad ones get in.

The beautiful beam of red light blows out of my window of my darkened room.

The black darkness encircles me still waiting to strike, like a slithering snake.

Suddenly it engulfs my body fully taking over, for what was a little inside seeping threw was now filled up with all these darkened emotions.

I feel the pain enter all the sadness, rage, and fear.

It burns threw my body, like poison shooting threw my veins.

I scream and cry as I feel these darkened emotions sting my body.

No one will help me, no one.

I cry and scream, though no one will hear me…

Alone in this dark room no one would be able to hear me scream,

They want to see me suffer.

This dark room I lay in I wonder if I have hope, someday, one day I will escape
