alone in the dark-- a poem

alone in the dark do you ever feel alone in the dark? like the world will swallow your soul? if you do not secure your hold? like the regrets of old will come and attack you like a room filled with mold? making you toss and turn like your sleep cycle is left to burn? do you ever wonder when it is someone else's turn? safety is something for which we all yearn but first we must learn to content on our own to remember the times when we shone when we let our light illuminate the gold and refused to be left out in the cold no matter what the memories of old will try to become the lead leaving you there to suffer and bleed but we must relive the times when hope took fear's place and we were able to handle life at a steady pace and able to appreciate the beauty in every face we may want to turn back in the race but we must not treat life with haste it will be gone before you even get the chance to sample a taste
