The lives we live are only given to us once. We make mistakes, have our hears broken, lose the ones we love. But, we learn, we duct tape ourselves together, and find peace in knowing how wonderful ou lives truly are.


The lights go out, it is so dark,
the pitch black seems to close in around me.
I feel as though Im suffocating in a park,I heard a sound,
a small whisper,somewhere out in that shadowy darkness.
It seems to keep coming closer, that whisper,til I can almost hear it next to my ear.
I soon here the sounds all over the place,while in the black of my room I sit and stare,
The darkness swirls and forms like lace around my face,
I want run and hide somewhere, but there is nowhere to run.
I am trapped in a black nothingness with only my fears,
the black closes in all around and pushes me back.
I feel the coldness of the wall against me and it seems to jeer.
I am now breaking out in a cold sweat donw my cheeks,
it runs down my chin and drips on my night shirt,
my eyes are closed ever so tightly for I am too scared to peek.
I pull the covers over my head and wonder why I am not dead,
I hear the sound of frightening things, I see the motionsI want to run,
to hide away to get to light but my feet are like lead.
When finally I feel sleep settle in the world around gets very thin,
I know that I must get to sleep, and forget all of this fear,
What am I to do about what fear of the unknown is here.
In my mind I witness thus, the scariest creatures I can muster,
my mind is now running wild, I see things just like a child,
I hear a loud "Boom Pop" and realize hearing has lost its luster,
I cower even deeper still covering my eyes and starting to cry,
when the first rays of light reach me I wait a little just to be sure,
then I slowly lift my hands and open up my red, tired eyes
.The nightlight has been turned back on and I see that I was wrong,
for in my room was nothing more than a bed, a door, and a ghost in the corner.

I am very much intrigued by the supernatural and spiritual world. I hope that people will see that the fear of what we do not know is the biggest fear ever.
