Darkness

A big bad place we live in
Where horrifying things happen
You just have to find the light
All I see is darkness though
The darkness consumes my light
In it’s inescapable breeze
Like a cold hug
It wraps around myself
It follows me around everywhere
It’s all I can focus on
Everyone stops and stares
They see my companion
I feel trapped in this big scary world
Sometimes all I can do is nothing
I think I am going crazy
Please someone save me
