I look all around me to see darkness. Dark skies. Dark houses. Darkness. Everyone is wearing black, we are all in houses hiding from the dark rain. My brother is crying and my sister is hiding. My mum tells to be strong but i cant. I don't know why but i cant. Maybe the darkness is consuming me. Maybe i am just afraid. Whatever it is i know i want it to go away. I want everything to go away. I want it to be like it use to. Smiles on everyone,s faces and going out for picnics every evening, but now all i am stuck with is darkness and rain. Maybe one day the darkness will go away, maybe we live with it forever. Maybe a ray of sunshine will come out sooner or later.
