Darkness.

Everywhere,

Engulfing me.

Its' icy tendrils touching me,

Dragging me down,

Drowning me

I cannot escape..


The author's comments:

I've always been scared of the dark, ever since I was a kid. But recently I discovered I was never afraid of the dark, but of what my imagination told me was in it. That's where the idea of this came from, the darkness is a metaphor for your imagination, sometimes it feels like it will be the end you.
