Jock Engelman
is it the Dark I fear or the Unknown?
As the Darkness supresses me
I drown in my panic and fear
Its not the Darkness that scares me
Its the Unknown of what’s near
My breath is stolen by the wind
wishing for help, I cant shout out
The darkness rendering me blind
And I run flailing all about
As I finally reach the light
My eyes burn and my lungs open up
I feel like a bird taking flight
My fear is once again, covered up
As I walk, head bowed in silent shame…
